Model of Growth Cone Membrane Polarization via Microtubule Length Regulation.
We present a mathematical model of membrane polarization in growth cones. We proceed by coupling an active transport model of cytosolic proteins along a two-dimensional microtubule (MT) network with a modified Dogterom-Leibler model of MT growth. In particular, we consider a Rac1-stathmin-MT pathway in which the growth and catastrophe rates of MTs are regulated by cytosolic stathmin, while the ...
متن کاملEngineered Solder-Directed Self-Assembly Across Length Scales
We report on recent progress in the directed self-assembly of discrete inorganic semiconductor device components. Different from prior research, the goal is to enable the integration of increasingly small dies while supporting unique-angle orientation and contact pad registration. The process is based on the reduction of surface free energy between liquid solder coated areas on the substrate an...
متن کاملCoupling membrane protrusion and cell adhesion.
The ability of cells to extend cell membranes is central to numerous biological processes, including cell migration, cadherin-mediated junction formation and phagocytosis. Much attention has been focused on understanding the signals that trigger membrane protrusion and the architecture of the resulting extension. Similarly, cell adhesion has been extensively studied, yielding a wealth of inform...
متن کاملFluidic Surface-Tension-Directed Self-Assembly of Miniaturized Semiconductor Dies Across Length Scales and 3D Topologies
This proceeding discusses recent progress on engineered fluidic surface-tension-directed self-assembly involving liquid solder. The process is applied to the assembly of discrete inorganic semiconductor device components at different length scales producing electrically interconnected devices and systems. Prior results include assembly with unique angular orientation and contact pad registratio...
متن کاملSurface Tension Directed Fluidic Self-Assembly of Semiconductor Chips across Length Scales and Material Boundaries
This publication provides an overview and discusses some challenges of surface tension directed fluidic self-assembly of semiconductor chips which are transported in a liquid medium. The discussion is limited to surface tension directed self-assembly where the capture, alignment, and electrical connection process is driven by the surface free energy of molten solder bumps where the authors have...
