Dictyostelium Cells Migrate Similarly on Surfaces of Varying Chemical Composition
During cell migration, cell-substrate binding is required for pseudopod anchoring to move the cell forward, yet the interactions with the substrate must be sufficiently weak to allow parts of the cell to de-adhere in a controlled manner during typical protrusion/retraction cycles. Mammalian cells actively control cell-substrate binding and respond to extracellular conditions with localized inte...
متن کاملTransduction of chemical signals in dictyostelium cells.
Cells of D discoideum grow and multiply as single amoebae in the presence of nutrients, ie bacteria, or in laboratory strains, liquid medium. After the exhaustion of nutrients the cells undergo a sequence of changes exemplified by the expression of differentiation markers, which are characteristic of certain developmental stages. During the later stages of development, cell-type-specific antige...
متن کاملDiffusion on Rapidly Varying Surfaces
Lateral diffusion of particles along interfaces is a frequently occurring phenomenon in cellular biology. The mobility of membrane proteins has far-reaching implications for many cellular processes, in particular protein transport, signalling and morphology, thus there has been considerable interest in measuring how the mobility of these proteins is affected by the membrane and its surrounding ...
متن کاملCell Adhesion On Surfaces Of Varying Topographies
Micro-topography of a surface in?uences cell adhesion and proliferation. To improve adhesion, polyelectrolyte multilay ers (PEMs) are built on patterned support layers to increase surface Wettability, thereby improving attachment and spreading of the cells. Physical parameters, such as pattern siZe and pitch, in part, regulate cell adhesion and prolifera tion. Varying the surface topography pro...
متن کاملTime-Varying Vector Field Design on Surfaces
Vector field design has a wide variety of applications in computer graphics, including texture synthesis, non-photorealistic rendering, fluid and crowd simulation, and shape deformation. This paper addresses the problem of the design of time-varying vector fields on surfaces. The additional time dimension poses a number of unique challenges to the design tasks such as the introduction of more c...
