Fluid lipid membranes can mediate forces between particles bound to them: A local
deformation of the surface geometry created by some object spreads to distant regions …

Particles binding to a fluid lipid membrane can induce bilayer deformations, for instance
when these particles are curved. Since the energy of two overlapping warp fields depends …

This chapter summarizes several approaches combining theory, simulation, and experiment
that aim for a better understanding of phenomena in lipid bilayers and membrane protein …

While modern structural biology has provided us with a rich and diverse picture of
membrane proteins, the biological function of membrane proteins is often influenced by the …

Hydrophobic thickness mismatch between integral membrane proteins and the surrounding
lipid bilayer can produce lipid bilayer thickness deformations. Experiment and theory have …

Cell membranes show an intricate organization of lipids and membrane proteins into
domains with distinct composition and hydrophobic thickness. Using mechanosensitive ion …

We numerically study the morphology of fluid membrane vesicles with the prescribed
volume and surface area in confinement. For spherical confinement, we observe …

Experiments have revealed that membrane proteins can form two-dimensional clusters with
regular translational and orientational protein arrangements, which may allow cells to …

Curvature mediated elastic interactions between inclusions in lipid membranes have been
analyzed using both theoretical and computational methods. Entropic corrections to these …

Lipid membrane deformations have been predicted to lead to indirect forces between the
objects that induce these deformations. Recent experimental measurements have found an …
