An Active Poroelastic Model for Mechanochemical Patterns in Protoplasmic Droplets of Physarum polycephalum
Motivated by recent experimental studies, we derive and analyze a two-dimensional model for the contraction patterns observed in protoplasmic droplets of Physarum polycephalum. The model couples a description of an active poroelastic two-phase medium with equations describing the spatiotemporal dynamics of the intracellular free calcium concentration. The poroelastic medium is assumed to consis...
متن کاملOscillations and uniaxial mechanochemical waves in a model of an active poroelastic medium: Application to deformation patterns in protoplasmic droplets of Physarum polycephalum
Self-organization in cells often manifests itself in oscillations and waves. Here, we address deformation waves in protoplasmic droplets of the plasmodial slime mold Physarum polycephalum by modelling and experiments. In particular, we extend a one-dimensional model that considered the cell as an poroelastic medium, where active tension caused mechanochemical waves that were regulated by an inh...
متن کاملEffective equations governing an active poroelastic medium
In this work, we consider the spatial homogenization of a coupled transport and fluid-structure interaction model, to the end of deriving a system of effective equations describing the flow, elastic deformation and transport in an active poroelastic medium. The 'active' nature of the material results from a morphoelastic response to a chemical stimulant, in which the growth time scale is strong...
متن کاملHigh frequency poroelastic waves in hydrogels.
In this work a continuum model for high frequency poroelastic longitudinal waves in hydrogels is presented. A viscoelastic force describing the interaction between the polymer network and the bounded water present in such materials is introduced. The model is tested by means of ultrasound wave speed and attenuation measurements in polyvinylalcohol hydrogel samples. The theory and experiments sh...
متن کاملLamb Waves in a Poroelastic Plate
Currently, bone mineral density (BMD) is the gold standard for in vivo assessment of frac23 ture risk of bones and is measured using X-ray absorptiometric techniques.1 However, only 24 70–80% of the variance of bone strength is accounted for by bone density. As the brittle25 ness of bone depends on more factors than bone density, biologists believe that quantitative 26 ultrasound techniques (QU...
