title = "Nonequilibrium dynamics of lipid membranes: Deformation and stability in electric fields",
abstract = "Cellular biomembranes are dynamic structures that undergo frequent deformation and remodeling because of stresses naturally existing in the cellular environments or because of externally applied flow or electric fields. The growing appreciation of the importance of the nonequilibrium behavior of lipid membranes in cell biological function has stimulated an increasing interest in this subject.This review discusses the challenges and recent advances in the theory of nonequilibrium membranes, in particular, membranes in electric fields. The main focus is on cell-size closed lipid membranes (giant vesicles), which provide a well-defined system for experimental testing of theoretical models.",
