Dual network model for red blood cell membranes.
A two-component network is studied by Monte Callo simulation to model the lipid/spectrin membrane of red blood cells. The model predicts that the shear modulus decreases rapidly with the maximum length of the model spectrin lind shou ld be in the 10 7 11m 2 range for human red blood cells. A simplified model for the isolated spectrin network shows a negative Lame coefficient i... Transverse flu...
متن کاملFusion of Human Red Blood Cell Membranes
The ability of the parainfluenza group of viruses to induce cell fusion with the production of polykaryocytes and heterokaryons of animal cells has been well documented (1, 2, 3, 4) . Much of the interest in cell fusion in recent years has centered on cell hybrids with nuclei of different species occupying the same cell . Such hybrid cells have proved useful for studies of nuclear-cytoplasmic r...
متن کاملMechanics of the red blood cell network
Changes in the microstruture of blood caused by the red blood cell aggregation phenomenon affect the mechanical properties of the fluid. This fact has been extensively investigated in the past and it has been verified that the formation of rouleaux (the characteristic coin-pile like structures) and aggregates at low shear rates affect the flow and as a consequence the viscosity of the fluid is ...
متن کاملKinetics of chloride transport across fish red blood cell membranes
The continuous flow tube method was used to investigate the kinetics of chloride transport, and its potential oxygenation-dependency, in red blood cells (RBCs) from four teleost fish species and man. A significant interspecific variation in Cl- transport kinetics was found. At 15 °C, the rate constant k for unidirectional 36Cl- efflux was significantly lower in RBCs from eel and carp than i...
متن کاملMicrorheology of red blood cell membranes using dynamic scattering microscopy.
We employ a novel optical technique, dynamic scattering microscopy (DSM), to extract the frequency dependence of the viscoelastic modulus associated with the red blood cell membrane. This approach applies the principle of dynamic light scattering to micro beads attached to the red blood cell membrane in thermal fluctuation. This allows for highthroughput characterization of a large number of ce...
