Modeling of protrusion phenotypes driven by the actin-membrane interaction.
We propose a mathematical model for simulating the leading-edge dynamics of a migrating cell from the interplay among elastic properties, architecture of the actin cytoskeleton, and the mechanics of the membrane. Our approach is based on the description of the length and attachment dynamics of actin filaments in the lamellipodium network. It is used to determine the total force exerted on the m...
متن کاملMeasurement of functional and morphodynamic neutrophil phenotypes in systemic inflammation and sepsis
We read with great interest the review by Leliefeld et al. [1] published in Critical Care on the role of neutrophils in immune paralysis during systemic inflammation (SI). This is of high clinical importance since immune paralysis potentially increases susceptibility to new infections or may cause inability to clear existing infections, leading to detrimental outcome. One mechanism proposed for...
متن کاملMorphodynamic models of communication
Morphodynamics means 'the dynamics of form', and the purpose of morphody-namic theories is to describe and explain the birth, evolution, and death of form. The term 'form' is used differently in different sciences, but the notions of discontinuity and organisation seems to recur in most uses. A central question is: how can continuous changes of an amorphous substance, such as increasing the vel...
متن کاملEngineered kinase activation reveals unique morphodynamic phenotypes and associated trafficking for Src family isoforms.
The Src kinase family comprises nine homologous members whose distinct expression patterns and cellular distributions indicate that they have unique roles. These roles have not been determined because genetic manipulation has not produced clearly distinct phenotypes, and the kinases' homology complicates generation of specific inhibitors. Through insertion of a modified FK506 binding protein (i...
متن کاملLarge-scale image-based screening and profiling of cellular phenotypes.
Cellular phenotypes are observable characteristics of cells resulting from the interactions of intrinsic and extrinsic chemical or biochemical factors. Image-based phenotypic screens under large numbers of basal or perturbed conditions can be used to study the influences of these factors on cellular phenotypes. Hundreds to thousands of phenotypic descriptors can also be quantified from the imag...
