Paper published
Hendrik’s paper on the dynamics of particle wrapping floppy lipid vesicles has just been published in Physical Review Research.
In collaboration with Jaime Agudo-Canalejo from the Max-Planck Institute in Göttingen, this paper explores the dynamics of the wrapping process that particles undergo when encountering lipid membranes. The rate-determining step seems to be dissipation at the contact line, but there's more to it!
