Zakaria Boujja, Chaouqi Misbah, Hamid Ez-Zahraouy, Abdelilah Benyoussef, Thomas John, Christian Wagner, Martin Michael Müller |
We present a numerical study of the time-dependent motion of a membrane vesicle in a
channel under an imposed flow. In a Poiseuille flow the shape of the vesicle depends on the flow strength,
the mechanical properties of the membrane, and the width of the channel. In a wide parameter region, the
emerging snaking shape shows an oscillatory motion like a swimmer flagella even though the flow is
stationary. We quantify this behavior by the amplitude and frequency of the oscillations of the vesicle's
center of mass. The influence of an amplitude modulation of the imposed flow on the dynamics and shape of
the snaking vesicle is also investigated. We find that this modulation---when sufficiently small---induces
a modulation in amplitude and frequency of the center of mass of the snaking vesicle. For large
modulation amplitudes transitions to static shapes are observed.

Julien Fierling, Martin Michael Müller, Hervé Mohrbach, Albert Johner, Igor M. Kulić |
We discuss a curious example for the collective mechanical behavior of coupled non-linear monomer units entrapped in a circular filament. Within a simple model we elucidate how multistability of monomer units and exponentially large degeneracy of the filament's ground state emerge as a collective feature of the closed filament. Surprisingly, increasing the monomer frustration, i.e., the bending prestrain within the circular filament, leads to a conformational softening of the system. The phenomenon, that we term polymorphic crunching, is discussed and applied to a possible scenario for membrane tube deformation by switchable dynamin or FtsZ filaments. We find an important role of cooperative inter-unit interaction for efficient ring induced membrane fission.

![](grafiken/19confinement_icon.png) | Fluid membrane vesicles in confinement
Osman Kahraman, Norbert Stoop, Martin Michael Müller |
We numerically study the morphology of fluid membrane vesicles with prescribed volume and surface area in confinement.
For spherical confinement we observe axisymmetric invaginations that transform into ellipsoidal invaginations a the area of the
vesicle is increased, followed by a transition into stomatocyte-like shapes.
We provide a detailed analysis of the axisymmetric shapes and investigate the effect of the spontaneous curvature of the membrane
as a possible mechanism for shape regulation. We show that the observed morphologies are stable under small geometric deformations
of the confinement. The results could help to understand the role of mechanics in the complex folding patterns of biological membranes.

![](grafiken/17confinement_icon.png) | Morphogenesis of membrane invaginations in spherical confinement
Osman Kahraman, Norbert Stoop, Martin Michael Müller |
We study the morphology of a fluid membrane in spherical confinement. When the
area of the membrane is slightly larger than the area of the outer container, a single axisymmetric
invagination is observed. For higher area, self-contact occurs: the invagination breaks symmetry
and deforms into an ellipsoid-like shape connected to its outer part via a small slit. For even
higher areas, a second invagination forms inside the original invagination. The folding patterns observed
could constitute basic building blocks in the morphogenesis of biological tissues and organelles.

![](grafiken/15casimir_icon.png) | Interface-mediated interactions: Entropic forces of curved membranes
Pierre Gosselin, Hervé Mohrbach, Martin Michael Müller |
Particles embedded in a fluctuating interface experience forces and torques
mediated by the deformations and by the thermal fluctuations of the medium.
Considering a system of two cylinders bound to a fluid membrane we show that
the entropic contribution enhances the curvature-mediated repulsion between
the two cylinders. This is contrary to the usual attractive Casimir force in
the absence of curvature-mediated interactions. For a large distance between
the cylinders, we retrieve the renormalization of the surface tension of a
flat membrane due to thermal fluctuations.

Norbert Stoop, Falk K. Wittel, Martine Ben Amar, Martin Michael Müller, Hans J. Herrmann |
We investigate the morphology of thin discs and rings growing in circumferential direction. Recent analytical results suggest that this growth produces symmetric excess cones (e-cones). We study the stability of such solutions considering self-contact and bending stress. We show that, contrary to what was assumed in previous analytical solutions, beyond a critical growth factor, no symmetric e-cone solution is energetically minimal any more. Instead, we obtain skewed e-cone solutions having lower energy, characterized by a skewness angle and repetitive spiral winding with increasing growth. These results are generalized to discs with varying thickness and rings with holes of different radii.

![](grafiken/06Eulerelastica_icon.png) | Balancing torques in membrane-mediated interactions: Exact results and
numerical illustrations
Martin Michael Müller, Markus Deserno, Jemal Guven |
Torques on interfaces can be described by a divergence-free tensor
which is fully encoded in the geometry. This tensor consists of two
terms, one originating in the couple of the stress, the other capturing
an intrinsic contribution due to curvature. In analogy to the description
of forces in terms of a stress tensor, the torque on a particle can be
expressed as a line integral along any contour surrounding the particle.
Interactions between particles mediated by a fluid membrane are studied
within this framework. In particular, torque balance places a strong
constraint on the shape of the membrane. Symmetric two-particle
configurations admit simple analytical expressions which are valid
in the fully nonlinear regime; in particular, the problem may be
solved exactly in the case of two membrane-bound parallel cylinders.
This apparently simple system provides some flavor of the remarkably
subtle nonlinear behavior associated with membrane-mediated interactions.

![](grafiken/01surfacemed_icon.jpg) | Geometry of surface-mediated interactions
Martin Michael Müller, Markus Deserno, Jemal Guven |
Soft interfaces can mediate interactions between particles bound to
them. The force transmitted through the surface geometry on a
particle may be expressed as a closed line integral of the surface
stress tensor around that particle. This contour may be deformed to
exploit the symmetries present; for two identical particles, one
obtains an exact expression for the force between them in terms of
the local surface geometry of their mid-plane; in the case of a
fluid membrane the sign of the interaction is often evident. The
approach, by construction, is adapted directly to the surface and is
independent of its parameterization. Furthermore, it is applicable
for arbitrarily large deformations; in particular, it remains valid
beyond the linear small-gradient regime.
