Interplay Between Long-Range And Short-Range Interactions In Polymer Self-Assembly And Cell Adhesion

Interplay between long-range and short-range interactions is a common theme in soft and biological matter, which results in complicated self-assembly behaviors. We study two examples of this interplay: reversible gelation of associating polymers and ligand-receptor interactions in membrane adhesion....
