We investigate the relation between dilatation and conformal symmetries in statistical mechanics of flexible crystalline membranes. analyze, particular, a well-known model which describes fluctuations continuum elastic medium embedded higher-dimensional space. In this theory, renormalization group flow connects non-interacting ultraviolet fixed point, where theory is controlled by linear elasti...

There are three regimes of cell membrane interaction with glass - Tight and loose adhesion, separated by repulsion. Explicitly including hydration, this paper evaluates the pressure between surfaces as functions distance for ion-correlation ion-screened electrostatics, electromagnetic fluctuations. The results agree data tight adhesion energy (0.5-3 vs 0.4-4 mJ/m2), detachment (7.9 9 MPa), peak...
