Interplay between membrane elasticity and active cytoskeleton forces regulates the aggregation dynamics of the immunological synapse
Nadiv Dharan, Oded Farago
Adhesion between a T cell and an antigen presenting cell is achieved by TCR-pMHC and LFA1-ICAM1 protein complexes. These segregate to form a special pattern, known as the immunolog…
Formation of adhesion domains in stressed and confined membranes
Nadiv Dharan, Oded Farago
The adhesion bonds connecting a lipid bilayer to an underlying surface may undergo a condensation transition resulting from an interplay between a short range attractive potential…
Coarse grained molecular simulations of membrane adhesion domains
Nadiv Dharan, Oded Farago
We use a coarse grained molecular model of supported lipid bilayers to study the formation of adhesion domains. We find that this process is a first order phase transition, trigger…
Muscle contraction and the elasticity-mediated crosstalk effect
Nadiv Dharan, Oded Farago
Cooperative action of molecular motors is essential for many cellular processes. One possible regulator of motor coordination is the elasticity-mediated crosstalk (EMC) coupling be…
Duty-ratio of cooperative molecular motors
Nadiv Dharan, Oded Farago
Molecular motors are found throughout the cells of the human body, and have many different and important roles. These micro-machines move along filament tracks, and have the abilit…
