Abstract
Recent work on membrane-inclusion and inclusion-inclusion interactions has focused on models of the membrane based on curvature elasticity. The resulting deformation profiles are non-monotonic and lead to eithe r attractive or repulsive interactions. In addition, considerations of thermal membrane fluctuations and the membrane-inclusion contact angl e have led to predictions of new long-range interactions.
