ABSTRACT
Membrane curvature is ubiquitous and essential in cell biology. Curved membranes have several distinct features, including specific protein and lipid sorting, distinct lipid ordering, and changes in transbilayer stress. Curvature also interplays with membrane tension to generate forces that change membrane shape. This research highlight summarizes recent contributions to this topic published in Biophysical Journal.
