  Adhesion bonds between membranes and surfaces are attracted to each other via
effective interactions whose origin the entropy loss due to the reduction in
the amplitude of the membrane thermal fluctuations in the vicinity of the
adhesion bonds. These fluctuation-induced interactions are also expected to
drive the adhesion bonds toward the rim of the cell, as well as toward the
surfaces of membrane inclusions. In this paper, we analyze the attraction of
adhesion bonds to the cell inner and outer boundaries. Our analysis shows that
the probability distribution function of a single (diffusing) adhesion bond
decay algebraically with the distance from the boundaries. Upon increasing the
concentration of the adhesion bonds, the attraction to the boundaries becomes
strongly self-screened.
