A minimal physical model for curvotaxis driven by curved protein complexes at the cell's leading edge

This paper develops a minimal physical model to explain curvotaxis by simulating curved protein complexes at the cell's leading edge and shows it matches experimental observations on curved substrates.

Conformational changes of the ABC Transporter BmrA Depend on Membrane Curvature

This study shows that the conformational changes of the bacterial ABC transporter BmrA are influenced by membrane curvature, affecting its activity and conformational states.

Coiling of cellular protrusions around extracellular fibers

This study combines theory and experiments to show that cellular protrusions coil around round fibers but not elliptical ones, driven by membrane curvature and adhesion energies.

Theoretical model of efficient phagocytosis driven by curved membrane proteins and active cytoskeleton forces

This paper presents a theoretical model explaining how curved membrane proteins and active cytoskeletal forces drive efficient phagocytosis, showing reduced adhesion strength requirements and faster engulfment.

Modelling cellular spreading and emergence of motility in the presence of curved membrane proteins and active cytoskeleton forces

The paper models cellular spreading and motility by simulating vesicle behavior with curved membrane proteins and active forces, showing how these factors drive lamellipodia formation and motility.
