Activity-induced microswimmer interactions and cooperation in one-dimensional environments
Stefania Ketzetzi, Melissa Rinaldin, Pim Dröge +2
Cooperative motion in biological microswimmers is crucial for their survival as it facilitates adhesion to surfaces, formation of hierarchical colonies, efficient motion, and enhan…
Supported lipid membranes with designed geometry
Melissa Rinaldin, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf, Ernst J. Vegter +4
The membrane curvature of cells and intracellular compartments continuously adapts to enable cells to perform vital functions, from cell division to signal trafficking. Understandi…
Lipid exchange enhances geometric pinning in multicomponent membranes on patterned substrates
Melissa Rinaldin, Piermarco Fonda, Luca Giomi +1
Experiments on supported lipid bilayers featuring liquid ordered/disordered domains have shown that the spatial arrangement of the lipid domains and their chemical composition are…
Thermodynamic equilibrium of binary mixtures on curved surfaces
Piermarco Fonda, Melissa Rinaldin, Daniela J. Kraft +1
We study the global influence of curvature on the free energy landscape of two-dimensional binary mixtures confined on closed surfaces. Starting from a generic effective free energ…
Colloidal supported lipid bilayers for self-assembly
Melissa Rinaldin, Ruben W. Verweij, Indrani Chakraborty +1
The use of colloidal supported lipid bilayers (CSLBs) has recently been extended to create colloidal joints, that - in analogy to their macroscopic counterparts - can flexibly conn…
Interface geometry of binary mixtures on curved substrates
Piermarco Fonda, Melissa Rinaldin, Daniela J. Kraft +1
Motivated by recent experimental work on multicomponent lipid membranes supported by colloidal scaffolds, we report an exhaustive theoretical investigation of the equilibrium confi…
Geometric pinning and antimixing in scaffolded lipid vesicles
Melissa Rinaldin, Piermarco Fonda, Luca Giomi +1
Unravelling the physical mechanisms behind the organisation of lipid domains is a central goal in cell biology and membrane biophysics. Previous studies on cells and model lipid bi…
