Inhomogeneous Canham–Helfrich Abscission in Catenoid Necks under Critical Membrane Mosaicity
Membranes, 2023 The mechanical effects of membrane compositional inhomogeneities are analyzed in a process analogous to neck formation in cellular membranes. We cast on the Canham–Helfrich model of fluid membranes with both the spontaneous curvature and the surface ...

Membrane curvature induced by polymer adsorption [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2001 The phenomena resulting from interaction between polymers and membranes pose important problems for biological applications. Based on a scaling theory, we investigate the spontaneous curvature of a membrane induced by either flexible or semiflexible chain adsorption.

, 2013 Up-down asymmetric inclusions impose a local, spontaneous curvature to an elastic membrane. When several of them are inserted in a same membrane, they feel effective forces mediated by the membrane, both of elastic and entropic nature.

Curvature-induced stiffening of a fish fin [PDF]
, 2017 How fish modulate their fin stiffness during locomotive manoeuvres remains unknown. We show that changing the fin's curvature modulates its stiffness. Modelling the fin as bendable bony rays held together by a membrane, we deduce that fin curvature is ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Measurement of the bending rigidity and spontaneous curvature of fluid membranes in simulations
, 2011 Several numerical methods for measuring the bending rigidity and the spontaneous curvature of fluid membranes are studied using two types of meshless membrane models.

Reaction-diffusion waves coupled with membrane curvature
Soft Matter, 2021 Reaction-diffusion waves coupled with membrane deformation are investigated using simulations combining a dynamically triangulated membrane model with the Brusselator model extended to include the effect of membrane curvature.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Interface-mediated interactions: Entropic forces of curved membranes
, 2011 Particles embedded in a fluctuating interface experience forces and torques mediated by the deformations and by the thermal fluctuations of the medium. Considering a system of two cylinders bound to a fluid membrane we show that the entropic contribution
