Quantitative model and physical mechanisms of iRBC membrane curling during egress of malaria parasites
G. Nick, A. Parmeggiani, A. V. KAJAVA
The paper develops a biophysical model to explain the energy mechanisms behind iRBC membrane curling during malaria parasite egress, showing that lateral lipid diffusion, not viscosity, drives the process.
