This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to show that lipid asymmetry, specifically LPC and PIP2 conversion, affects membrane structure and curvature.

This study models membrane deformation during endocytosis in yeast, showing that boundary lipid flow under turgor pressure drives tubulation, independent of actin polymerization.

This study measures Gaussian curvature modulus and spontaneous curvature by analyzing membrane buckling under compressive stress.

This study investigates clathrin-mediated endocytosis by analyzing two hypotheses about vesicle formation and shows that experimental data better fit a model resembling the constant-area hypothesis.
