DYNAMICS OF VESICLE ADHESION: SPREADING VERSUS DEWETTING COUPLED TO BINDER DIFFUSION
Preview AbstractWe study the kinetics of specific adhesion of giant vesicles on complemetary (bilayer-decorated) solid surfaces. Tensed vesicles exhibit a single adhesion zone that grows slowly. Floppy vesicles adhere via many small adhesion spots that grow and fuse, merging finally into a large adhesive zone. Using approaches derived from Ref. 12, we show how the progressive mobilization of adhesive molecules (diffusing toward the patch) can explain our experimental observations.
VARIABLE TENSION BRANE-WORLDS
Preview AbstractI present recent work on codimension one brane-world models containing a 3+1 dimensional curved brane with time-dependent brane tension.
