Multiscale compression-induced restructuring of stacked lipid bilayers: From buckling delamination to molecular packing.

Lipid membranes in nature adapt and reconfigure to changes in composition, temperature, humidity, and mechanics. For instance, the oscillating mechanical forces on lung cells and alveoli influence membrane synthesis and structure during breathing. However, despite advances in the understanding of li...
