Nonlinear waves in biological membranes — •Julian Kappler and Roland R. Netz — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Freie Universität Berlin, 14195 Berlin, Germany

We present a theory for nonlinear waves in biological membranes. We compare predictions of this theory to recent measurements and find that our model is able to reproduce key experimental features, such as an abrupt increase in both range and velocity as the external driving amplitude is increased.
