A model cell membrane in with fluorescent quantum dot nanoparticles associating with the membrane. Depending on their shape, these particles will localize to regions of the membrane with either lower or higher curvature.
       
     
A model cell membrane associating with polystyrene nanoparticles. As the particle bind to the lipid molecules in the membrane, they form aggregates that pull the membrane into dendridic protrusions.
