Membrane Cohesion

Membrane Cohesion is a biophysical construct that refers to the collective intermolecular forces, primarily hydrophobic interactions and van der Waals attractions, responsible for maintaining the structural integrity and lateral organization of lipid bilayers in biological membranes.
