The Quantum Casimir Effect May Be a Universal Force Organizing the Bilayer Structure of the Cell Membrane
A mathematic–physical model of the interaction between cell membrane bilayer leaflets is proposed based on the Casimir effect in dielectrics. This model explains why the layers of a lipid membrane gently slide one past another rather than penetrate each other. The presented model reveals the depende...
