The physical approach of a small particle (virus, medical drug) to the cell membrane
represents the crucial first step before active internalization and is governed by thermal …

We present an analytical calculation of the hydrodynamic interaction between two spherical
particles near an elastic interface such as a cell membrane. The theory predicts the …

Using a fully analytical theory, we compute the leading-order corrections to the translational,
rotational and translation–rotation coupling mobilities of an arbitrary axisymmetric particle …

Elastic confinements are an important component of many biological systems and dictate the
transport properties of suspended particles under flow. In this paper, we review the …

Glutathione (GSH) is a major antioxidant in organisms. An alteration in GSH concentration
has been implicated in a number of pathological conditions. Therefore, GSH sensing has …

In this article we extend recent experimental developments [Rogers et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.,
2012, 109, 098305] by providing a suitable theoretical framework for the derivation of exact …

Hydrodynamic interactions with confining boundaries often lead to drastic changes in the
diffusive behaviour of microparticles in suspensions. For axially symmetric particles, earlier …

We study the motion of a solid particle immersed in a Newtonian fluid and confined between
two parallel elastic membranes possessing shear and bending rigidity. The hydrodynamic …

Elastic confinements play an important role in many soft matter systems and affect the
transport properties of suspended particles in viscous flow. On the basis of low-Reynolds …

We study theoretically and numerically, the coupling and rotational hydrodynamic
interactions between spherical particles near a planar elastic membrane that exhibits …
