| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Understanding of structures and functions of biological membranes is one of the indispensable aspects to reveal biological phenomena. In this research project, by using analytical methods and simulations, we have established a fundamental understanding of nonequilibrium dynamics in multi-component biomembranes which exhibit phase separations and fluctuations. In particular, we have clarified the dynamics of multi-component membranes with hydrodynamic interactions, the dynamics of morphological transition of vesicles under nonequilibrium conditions, and Brownian motion or anomalous diffusion of active membranes. Furthermore, we have obtained important results concerning anomalous diffusion due to active force dipoles in viscoelastic media, and micromachines swimming in viscoelastic fluids.
