👉 Membrane math, also known as biophysical membrane mathematics, is a field that combines principles from physics, mathematics, and biology to describe the behavior of biological membranes. It involves using mathematical models to understand how these lipid bilayers interact with their environment, including ion transport, protein function, and cell signaling. Key concepts include the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equation for ionic diffusion, the Hodgkin-Huxley model for action potential propagation in neurons, and fluid mosaic model for membrane structure and dynamics. These models help predict membrane potential changes, ion channel behavior, and the effects of various stimuli on cellular processes, providing insights into fundamental biological mechanisms and aiding in the development of therapeutic strategies.
