Cracking donuts and sorting lipids: Geometry controls archaeal membrane stability and lipid organization
Felix Frey, Miguel Amaral, Anđela Šarić
Cells are defined by lipid membranes that differ in their structure across the tree of life. While the membranes of most bacteria and eukaryotes consist of single-headed bilayer li…

A non-reciprocal model for morphogenesis in symbiosis
Maitane Muñoz-Basagoiti, Michael Wassermair, Miguel Amaral +2
The shape of a cell influences, and it is influenced by its interactions with its neighbours. Here, we introduce a coarse-grained computational model of non-reciprocal interactions…

A tutorial for mesoscale computer simulations of lipid membranes: tether pulling, tubulation and fluctuation
Maitane Muñoz-Basagoiti, Felix Frey, Billie Meadowcroft +3
Lipid membranes and membrane deformations are a long-standing area of research in soft matter and biophysics. Computer simulations have complemented analytical and experimental app…
