Abstract
Membrane tension plays a critical role in many cellular processes. Experiments using both cellular and reconstituted systems have shown that tension plays a critical role in membrane-protein interactions for curvature generation. Cellular membranes can be thought of as elastic lipid bilayers that contain a variety of proteins, including ion channels, receptors and scaffolding proteins. These proteins are known to diffuse and aggregate in the plane of the membrane and to influence the bending of the membrane.
