Membrane curvature induced by proximity of anionic phospholipids can initiate endocytosis
Nature Communications, 2017 The plasma membrane is enriched in phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) mostly localized at the inner leaflet, which is predicted to induce membrane curvature.

Modeling Membrane Morphological Change during Autophagosome Formation
iScience, 2020 Summary: Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process that is mediated by de novo formation of autophagosomes. Autophagosome formation involves dynamic morphological changes; a disk-shaped membrane cisterna grows, bends to become a cup-shaped ...

Membrane curvature induces cardiolipin sorting [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2019 AbstractCardiolipin is a cone-shaped lipid predominantly localized in curved membrane sites of bacteria and in the mitochondrial cristae. This specific localization has been argued to be geometry-driven, since the CL’s conical shape relaxes curvature frustration. Although previous evidence suggests a coupling between CL concentration and membrane shape

Single Lipid Molecule Dynamics on Supported Lipid Bilayers with Membrane Curvature
Membranes, 2017 The plasma membrane is a highly compartmentalized, dynamic material and this organization is essential for a wide variety of cellular processes. Nanoscale domains allow proteins to organize for cell signaling, endo- and exocytosis, and other essential ...

The influence of solid scaffolds on flat and curved lipid membranes
AIP Advances, 2017 Solid-supported membranes have become a common tool to study lipid membrane properties in a controlled environment. One particular example is the study of membrane curvature and its effect on lipid sorting.

Reliable estimation of membrane curvature for cryo-electron tomography.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2020 Curvature is a fundamental morphological descriptor of cellular membranes. Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is particularly well-suited to visualize and analyze membrane morphology in a close-to-native state and molecular resolution.
