Flow-Driven Cell Migration under External Electric Fields.
Electric fields influence many aspects of cell physiology, including various forms of cell migration. Many cells are sensitive to electric fields, and they can migrate toward a cathode or an anode, depending on the cell type. In this Letter, we examine an actomyosin-independent mode of cell migration under electrical fields. Our theory considers a one-dimensional cell with water and ionic fluxe...
متن کاملRheology of Binary Polymer Blends under External Electric Fields
We investigate the relation between the structures of domains and the increase of stress under imposed electric field by performing simulations of the system composed of two kinds of fluids inserted between two plates of electrodes. It is found that the stress is significantly increased under applied electric fields as compared with the one of system under no external field. Under shear flows w...
متن کاملOptical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes under External Electric Fields
We study the optical properties of carbon nanotubes within the single-band tight-binding approximation. The great number of one-dimensional-like subbands of the nanotubes lead to typical van Hove singularities on the local density of states. When a tube is under the influence of a laser beam, optical transitions are allowed between Van Hove singularities and they can be observed experimentally ...
متن کاملEndogenous electric fields as guiding cue for cell migration
This review covers two topics: (1) "membrane potential of low magnitude and related electric fields (bioelectricity)" and (2) "cell migration under the guiding cue of electric fields (EF)."Membrane potentials for this "bioelectricity" arise from the segregation of charges by special molecular machines (pumps, transporters, ion channels) situated within the plasma membrane of each cell type (inc...
متن کاملDielectrophoretic effect of nonuniform electric fields on the protoplast cell
In recent years, dielectrophoresis based microfluidics systems have been used to manipulate colloids, inert particles, and biological microparticles, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, cancer cells, bacteria, yeast, microorganisms, proteins, DNA, etc. In the current study the governing electric potential equations have been solved in the presence of cell for the purpose of ...
