Coupling Anisotropic Curvature and Nematic Order: Mechanisms of Membrane Shape Remodeling
Yoav Ravid, Samo Penič, Luka Mesarec +4
This study theoretically investigates how anisotropic curved membrane components (CMCs) control vesicle morphology through curvature sensing, nematic alignment, topological defects…

Numerical studies of triangulated vesicles with anisotropic membrane inclusions
Yoav Ravid, Samo Penič, Nir Gov +3
In this study, we implement the deviatoric curvature model to examine dynamically triangulated surfaces with anisotropic membrane inclusions. The Monte-Carlo numerical scheme is de…

Theoretical study of vesicle shapes driven by coupling curved proteins and active cytoskeletal forces
Miha Fošnarič, Samo Penič, Aleš Iglič +3
Eukaryote cells have a flexible shape, which dynamically changes according to the function performed by the cell. One mechanism for deforming the cell membrane into the desired sha…
