--- res: bibo_abstract: - We theoretically study the shapes of lipid vesicles confined to a spherical cavity, elaborating a framework based on the so-called limiting shapes constructed from geometrically simple structural elements such as double-membrane walls and edges. Partly inspired by numerical results, the proposed non-compartmentalized and compartmentalized limiting shapes are arranged in the bilayer-couple phase diagram which is then compared to its free-vesicle counterpart. We also compute the area-difference-elasticity phase diagram of the limiting shapes and we use it to interpret shape transitions experimentally observed in vesicles confined within another vesicle. The limiting-shape framework may be generalized to theoretically investigate the structure of certain cell organelles such as the mitochondrion.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Bor foaf_name: Kavcic, Bor foaf_surname: Kavcic foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=350F91D2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0001-6041-254X - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: A. foaf_name: Sakashita, A. foaf_surname: Sakashita - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: H. foaf_name: Noguchi, H. foaf_surname: Noguchi - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: P. foaf_name: Ziherl, P. foaf_surname: Ziherl bibo_doi: 10.1039/c8sm01956h bibo_issue: '4' bibo_volume: 15 dct_date: 2019^xs_gYear dct_identifier: - UT:000457329700003 dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1744-683X - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1744-6848 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry@ dct_title: Limiting shapes of confined lipid vesicles@ fabio_hasPubmedId: '30629082' ...
