Vesicles in magnetic fields
نویسنده
چکیده
Liposome vesicles tend to align with an applied magnetic field. This is due to the directional magnetic susceptibility difference of the lipids which form the membrane of these vesicles. In this work a model of liposome vesicles exposed to magnetic field is presented. Starting from the base energy of a lipid membrane in a magnetic field, the force applied to the surrounding fluids is derived. This force is then used to investigate the dynamics of vesicle in the presence of magnetic fields.

s:696:"Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is classified as an elective dysmetabolic thesaurotic pneumoalveolitis and characterized by the presence within the alveoli of the lungs of myriad of tiny calculi. The classic presentation of the chest radiography is unmistakable with multiple small "sand-like" opacities diffusely involving both lung fields. We present a case of male infertility fo...
متن کاملTopological instabilities of spherical vesicles.
Within the framework of the Helfrich elastic theory of membranes and of differential geometry, we study the relative stability of spherical vesicles and double bubbles. We find that not only temperature but also magnetic fields can induce topological transformations between spherical vesicles and double bubbles and provide a phase diagram for the equilibrium shapes.
متن کاملInteraction between weak low frequency magnetic fields and cell membranes.
The question of whether very weak low frequency magnetic fields can affect biological systems, has attracted attention by many research groups for quite some time. Still, today, the theoretical possibility of such an interaction is often questioned and the site of interaction in the cell is unknown. In the present study, the influence of extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields on the tran...
