Open AccessPhase-field modelling of the dynamics of Z-ring formation in liposomes: Onset of constriction and coarsening
We propose a model for the dynamics of the formation of rings of FtsZ on tubular liposomes which produce constriction on the corresponding membrane. Our phase-field model is based on a simple bending energy th...
