Geometry of the Contact Zone between Fused Membrane-Coated Beads Mimicking Cell-Cell Fusion

The fusion of lipid membranes is a key process in biology. It enables cells and organelles to exchange molecules with their surroundings, which otherwise could not cross the membrane barrier. To study such complex processes we use simplified artificial model systems, i.e., an optical fusion assay ba...
