Imposed and embedded boundary conditions in two-dimensional membrane systems. Top: supported membranes can be confined to defined sizes and shapes by patterning the underlying substrate, while free-standing membranes with defined curvatures offer confinement through the periodicity of their surfaces. Bottom: membranes support internal clusters of lipids and/or proteins, which can have different biochemical and mechanical properties than the membrane as a whole.
