Biological soliton in multicellular movement
Solitons have been observed in various physical phenomena. Here, we show that the distinct characteristics of solitons are present in the mass cell movement of non-chemotactic mutants of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum. During starvation, D. discoideum forms multicellular structures that differentiate into spore or stalk cells and, eventually, a fruiting body. Non-chemotactic ...
متن کاملA three-dimensional model of cell movement in multicellular systems
A mathematical model for cell movement in multicellular systems has been developed that allows us to simulate and visualize, in three dimensions, individual cell movements in a number of multicellular systems. These include cell movement during aggregation and slug stage of Dictyostelium discoideum, embryogenesis, limb formation and wound healing. The model is quite adaptable to a number of sys...
متن کاملMulticellular Biological Growing Systems: Hyperbolic Limits towards Macroscopic Description
This paper deals with the analysis of the asymptotic limit towards the derivation of hyperbolic macroscopic equations for a class of equations modeling complex multicellular systems. Cellular interactions generate both modification of biological functions and proliferating destructive events related to growth of tumor cells in competition with the immune system. The asymptotic analysis refers t...
متن کاملBiocellion: accelerating computer simulation of multicellular biological system models
MOTIVATION Biological system behaviors are often the outcome of complex interactions among a large number of cells and their biotic and abiotic environment. Computational biologists attempt to understand, predict and manipulate biological system behavior through mathematical modeling and computer simulation. Discrete agent-based modeling (in combination with high-resolution grids to model the e...
متن کاملWeaver: Electroporation of Biological Membranes from Multicellular to Nano Scales
Electroporation, widely used in research and applications, is briefly reviewed. Both cell and artificial planar bilayer membranes exhibit dramatic changes if the transmembrane voltage is raised to 0.2 to 1 V by various electric field pulses. Ionic and molecular transport increases by orders of magnitude, with both reversible and irreversible outcomes. Initially the term breakdown was used, but ...
