Physics of Biological Membranes

Physics of Biological Membranes edited by Patricia Bassereau, Pierre Sens.

This book mainly focuses on key aspects of biomembranes that have emerged over the past 15 years. It covers static and dynamic descriptions, as well as modeling for membrane organization and shape at the local and global (at the cell level) scale. It also discusses several new developments in non-eq...
