This study shows that ionic strength and ionization affect membrane-tethered polymer conformation, which influences membrane curvature generation through changes in brush thickness and grafting density.

This study identifies how caveolin-1's hydrophobic residue patterning drives membrane bending through structural and computational analyses.

This paper develops a biophysical model to study how glycocalyx and membrane-cortex adhesion influence extracellular vesicle formation, identifying two instabilities and critical conditions for EV generation.

This paper develops a biophysical model to show glycocalyx can induce membrane tube formation through critical grafting density and polymer length, facilitated by actin forces and line tension.

This paper develops a biophysical model of the glycocalyx's role in generating and sensing membrane curvature, showing how glycocalyx properties influence membrane shape and curvature sensing.
