Capillarity Reveals the Role of Capsid Geometry in HIV Nuclear Translocation
Alex W. Brown, Sami C. Al-Izzi, Jack L. Parker +4
The protective capsid encasing the genetic material of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been shown to traverse the nuclear pore complex (NPC) intact, despite exceeding the pa…
Membrane tubes with active pumping: water transport, vacuole formation and osmoregulation
Sami C. Al-Izzi, Matthew S. Turner, Pierre Sens
The need for organisms to regulate their volume and osmolarity when surrounded by freshwater is a basic physical challenge for many bacteria, protists and algae. Taking inspiration…
Active Flows and Deformable Surfaces in Development
Sami C. Al-Izzi, Richard G. Morris
We review progress in active hydrodynamic descriptions of flowing media on curved and deformable manifolds: the state-of-the-art in continuum descriptions of single-layers of epith…
Shear-driven instabilities of membrane tubes and dynamin-induced scission
Sami C. Al-Izzi, Pierre Sens, Matthew S. Turner
Motivated by the mechanics of dynamin-mediated membrane tube fission we analyse the stability of fluid membrane tubes subjected to shear flow in azimuthal direction. We find a nove…
