Cellular wrapping of elastic particles by a supported lipid membrane
Amir Khosravanizadeh, Pierre Sens, Farshid Mohammad-Rafiee
Constancy of life vitally depends on the internalization of particles through biomembranes. Of particular interest, cellular uptake, including phagocytosis, receptor-mediated endoc…
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…
Reversibility of Red blood Cell deformation
Maria Zeitz, Pierre Sens
The ability of cells to undergo reversible shape changes is often crucial to their survival. For Red Blood Cells (RBCs), irreversible alteration of the cell shape and flexibility o…
Interactions between proteins bound to biomembranes
A. R. Evans, M. S. Turner, P. Sens
We study a physical model for the interaction between general inclusions bound to fluid membranes that possess finite tension, as well as the usual bending rigidity. We are motivat…
