Excess area dependent scaling behavior of nano-sized membrane tethers

N. Ramakrishnan, Arpita Roychoudhury, David M. Eckmann +6

Thermal fluctuations in cell membranes manifest as an excess area (${\mathcal{A}}_{\mathrm{ex}}$) which governs a multitude of physical process at the sub-micron scale. We present a theoreti…
