In this review we describe the state-of-the-art of computer simulations studies of lipid
membranes. We focus on collective lipid–lipid and lipid–protein interactions that trigger …

Self-assembly of copolymers in solution is a promising way to prepare novel materials. An
accurate control over the self-assembly of copolymers in solution requires a profound …

We present a new method for the evolution of inextensible vesicles immersed in a Stokesian
fluid. We use a boundary integral formulation for the fluid that results in a set of nonlinear …

We show that cationic nanoparticles encapsulated within vesicles of phosphocholine lipid
can induce pearling. The dynamic process occurs as two stages: formation of tubular …

Polymersomes, composed of amphiphilic block copolymers, are self-assembled vesicles
that have gained attention as potential drug delivery systems due to their good …

Spherical symmetry is ubiquitous in nature. It is therefore unfortunate that simulation of
spherical systems is so hard and require complete spheres with millions of interacting …

Lipids play a multitude of roles in intracellular protein transport and membrane traffic. While
a large body of data implicates phosphoinositides in these processes, much less is known …

The process of osmosis, a fundamental phenomenon in life, drives water through a
semipermeable membrane in response to a solute concentration gradient across this …

The understanding of the shape-change dynamics leading to the budding and division of
artificial cells has gained much attention in the past few decades due to an increased …

In this paper, we solve a constrained Willmore problem coupled with an electrical field using
IsoGeometric Analysis (IGA) to simulate the morphological evolution of vesicles subjected to …
