title: Theoretical shapes of bilipid vesicles under conditions of increasing membrane area.
abstract: Certain standard properties, including spontaneous curvature, are assumed for the membrane of a bilipid vesicle. Then, if there is a mechanism that causes the membrane area to increase, vesicle cleavage is found to occur.
