The continuous shape transformations of a fluid membrane bounded vesicle starting from a sphere are determined with minimizing the bending energy. A particular choice of the variables and the fine points of computations are presented. The computations show the pathways to cell division and to gastru
Electrooptical and conductometric methods continue to reveal new and more detailed information on the dynamic properties of membranes in electric fields. In particular, the electric pore formation in lipid vesicles, doped with optical probes, has been successfully investigated with electrooptical te
