摘要
In this work we systematically investigate the pathways of the interaction between elastic vesicles and lipid membranes with the aid of computer simulation techniques. Different vesicle responses to the vesicle-membrane adhesion, including vesicle fusion, vesicle hemi-fusion, vesicle adhesion, vesicle endocytosis and vesicle rupture, are observed from our simulations. We also investigate how the pathways of vesicle-membrane interaction depend on the adhesion strength, and the membrane and vesicle properties.
