On the Role of Curved Membrane Nanodomains, and Passive and Active Skeleton Forces in the Determination of Cell Shape and Membrane Budding

On the Role of Curved Membrane Nanodomains, and Passive and Active Skeleton Forces in the Determination of Cell Shape and Membrane Budding

Biological membranes are composed of isotropic and anisotropic curved nanodomains. Anisotropic membrane components, such as Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) superfamily protein domains, could trigger/facilitate the growth of membrane tubular protrusions, while isotropic curved nanodomains may induce undula...
