Comment on: "Dynamics of Phospholipid Membranes beyond Thermal Undulations"

Abstract

I introduce an alternative interpretation for the short-time anomalous diffusion observed by Gupta et al. using neutron spin echo. The interpretation involves the Brochard-Lennon "red blood cell" mode to describe membrane thickness fluctuations, and yields an anomalous diffusion exponent 1/3 that is consistent with the experimental results.
