Revised the anyon model for lipid domain formation

Aligned the model with experimental observations

Provided insights into vesicle aggregation processes

Abstract

To explain the details of bilayer vesicle aggregation, we revised the anyon model for lipid domains formation in closed vesicles of lipid-cholesterol system $DPPC/DLPC$/cholesterol, which was measured by Feigenson and Tokumasu (Biophys. Journal, 2001, 2003) in frames of the different optical experiments and atomic-force microscopy.
