Physical aspects of heterogeneities in multi-component lipid membranes
S Komura, D Andelman - Advances in colloid and interface science, 2014 - Elsevier
Ever since the raft model for biomembranes has been proposed, the traditional view of
biomembranes based on the fluid-mosaic model has been altered. In the raft model …
