Shape Transformations and Rupture of a Vesicle Driven by an Encapsulated Active Particle

Biological membranes are highly deformable structures that undergo shape transformations during numerous cellular processes. These transformations are often driven by active agents, including molecular motors, cytoskeletal machinery, and motile microorganisms, which consume energy and maintain biological systems far fr...

Transport of Deformable Vesicles Driven by Chiral Active Brownian Particles

Active matter systems can generate mechanical stresses that deform their surroundings, providing a route to transport and shape dynamics far from equilibrium. Deformable vesicles containing active particles offer a minimal setting in which such active stresses are directly coupled to boundary mechanics. Here, we use nu...
