DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2016.11.743
Abstract: Compartmentalisation is a defining feature of biological processes. Within eukaryotic cells, organelles serve as segregated microenvironments for specific biochemical processes. These microenvironments allow distinct chemical environments to be maintained within the cell and concentrate enzymes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.120.238001
Abstract: We develop a theoretical framework for understanding dynamic morphologies and stability of droplet interface bilayers (DIBs), accounting for lipid kinetics in the monolayers and bilayer, and droplet evaporation due to imbalance between osmotic and Laplace… read more here.
