Yu Z, Zhao S, Miksis M, Vlahovska P
ArXiv . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40034139
The linear stability of a lipid membrane under a DC electric field, applied perpendicularly to the interface, is investigated in the electrokinetic framework, taking account to the dynamics of the...

Zhao S, Balu B, Yu Z, Miksis M, Vlahovska P
ArXiv . 2025 Mar; PMID: 40034130
Cells and cellular organelles are encapsulated by nanometrically thin membranes whose main component is a lipid bilayer. In the presence of electric fields, the ion-impermeable lipid bilayer acts as a...

Faizi H, Granek R, Vlahovska P
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Oct; 121(44):e2413557121. PMID: 39441635
The biological function of membranes is closely related to their softness, which is often studied through the membranes' thermally driven fluctuations. Typically, the analysis assumes that the relaxation rate of...

Pogharian N, Vlahovska P, Olvera de la Cruz M
J Phys Chem B . 2024 Sep; 128(38):9172-9182. PMID: 39288951
As a core component of biological and synthetic membranes, lipid bilayers are key to compartmentalizing chemical processes. Bilayer morphology and mechanical properties are heavily influenced by electric fields, such as...

Granek R, Hoffmann I, Kelley E, Nagao M, Vlahovska P, Zilman A
Eur Phys J E Soft Matter . 2024 Feb; 47(2):12. PMID: 38355850
We consider the dynamic structure factor (DSF) of quasi-spherical vesicles and present a generalization of an expression that was originally formulated by Zilman and Granek (ZG) for scattering from isotropically...

Reboucas R, Faizi H, Miksis M, Vlahovska P
Soft Matter . 2024 Feb; 20(10):2258-2271. PMID: 38353299
We conduct a systematic exploration of the energy landscape of vesicle morphologies within the framework of the Helfrich model. Vesicle shapes are determined by minimizing the elastic energy subject to...

Wang Z, Miksis M, Vlahovska P
Soft Matter . 2023 Oct; 19(39):7663-7672. PMID: 37782279
A charge-free particle in a uniform electric field experiences no net force in an unbounded domain. A boundary, however, breaks the symmetry and the particle can be attracted or repelled...

Wang Z, Miksis M, Vlahovska P
Phys Rev E . 2022 Oct; 106(3-1):034607. PMID: 36266874
The electrostatic force on a spherical particle near a planar surface is calculated for the cases of a uniform electric field applied in either normal or tangential direction to the...

Aleksanyan M, Faizi H, Kirmpaki M, Vlahovska P, Riske K, Dimova R
Adv Phys X . 2022 Oct; 8(1). PMID: 36211231
Knowledge of the material properties of membranes is crucial to understanding cell viability and physiology. A number of methods have been developed to probe membranes in vitro, utilizing the response...
