A Minimal Mechanosensing Model Predicts Keratocyte Evolution on Flexible Substrates
A model is proposed for shape evolution and locomotion of fish epidermal keratocytes on elastic substrates. The model is based on mechanosensing concepts: cells apply contractile forces onto the elastic substrate, while cell shape evolution depends locally on the substrate stress generated by themselves or external mechanical stimuli acting on the substrate. We use the level set method to study...
متن کاملMinimal model of directed cell motility on patterned substrates.
Crawling cell motility is vital to many biological processes such as wound healing and the immune response. Using a minimal model we investigate the effects of patterned substrate adhesiveness and biophysical cell parameters on the direction of cell motion. We show that cells with low adhesion site formation rates may move perpendicular to adhesive stripes while those with high adhesion site fo...
متن کاملA Minimal Model of Locomotion Applied to the Steady Gliding Movement of Fish Keratocyte Cells
In this paper we present the quantitative analysis of the basic mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of animal cell motility. We describe plausible mechanisms of actin-based protrusive force generation at the cell's leading edge. We also demonstrate that the dynamics of self-alignment and contraction of the actin-myosin network can explain forward translocation of the cell body. Regulation of g...
متن کاملLactate Sensors on Flexible Substrates
Lactate detection by an in situ sensor is of great need in clinical medicine, food processing, and athletic performance monitoring. In this paper, a flexible, easy to fabricate, and low-cost biosensor base on lactate oxidase is presented. The fabrication processes, including metal deposition, sol-gel IrOx deposition, and drop-dry enzyme loading method, are described in detail. The loaded enzyme...
متن کاملEvolution and anti-evolution in a minimal stock market model
We present a novel microscopic stock market model consisting of a large number of random agents modeling traders in a market. Each agent is characterized by a set of parameters that serve to make iterated predictions of two successive returns. The future price is determined according to the offer and the demand of all agents. The system evolves by redistributing the capital among the agents in ...
