Lipid bilayer membranes are commonly modeled as area-preserving fluid surfaces that resist bending. There appear to be two schools of thought in the literature concerning the actual area constraint. In some works the total or global area…
Cell membranes interact via anchored receptor and ligand molecules. Central questions on cell adhesion concern the binding affinity of these membrane-anchored molecules, the mechanisms leading to the receptor-ligand domains observed during…

Existing nonlocal diffusion models are predominantly classified into two categories: bond-based models, which involve a single-fold integral and usually simulate isotropic diffusion, and state-based models, which contain a double-fold…
