Compression Of Membranes

Compression of Membranes is a theoretical construct in membrane biophysics that characterizes the reduction in lateral area or thickness of lipid bilayers under mechanical or osmotic stress, distinguishing it from related deformation modes by its specific dependence on in-plane compressive forces and elastic resistance governed by area compression modulus.
