Curvature-driven feedback on aggregation-diffusion of proteins in lipid bilayers
Arijit Mahapatra, David Saintillan, Padmini Rangamani
Membrane bending is an extensively studied problem from both modeling and experimental perspectives because of the wide implications of curvature generation in cell biology. Many o…

The mechanics and thermodynamics of tubule formation in biological membranes
Arijit Mahapatra, Can Uysalel, Padmini Rangamani
Membrane tubulation is a ubiquitous process that occurs both at the plasma membrane and on the membranes of intracellular organelles. These tubulation events are known to be mediat…

Transport Phenomena in Fluid Films with Curvature Elasticity
Arijit Mahapatra, David Saintillan, Padmini Rangamani
Cellular membranes are elastic lipid bilayers that contain a variety of proteins, including ion channels, receptors, and scaffolding proteins. These proteins are known to diffuse i…
