The Role of Cytonemes and Diffusive Transport in the Establishment of Morphogen Gradients
Jay A. Stotsky, Hans G. Othmer
Spatial distributions of morphogens provide positional information in developing systems, but how the distributions are established and maintained remains an open problem. Transpor…
Noise-induced Mixing and Multimodality in Reaction Networks
Tomislav Plesa, Radek Erban, Hans G. Othmer
We analyze a class of chemical reaction networks under mass-action kinetics and involving multiple time-scales, whose deterministic and stochastic models display qualitative differ…
Getting in shape and swimming: the role of cortical forces and membrane heterogeneity in eukaryotic cells
Hao Wu, Marco Avila Ponce de Leon, Hans G. Othmer
Recent research has shown that motile cells can adapt their mode of propulsion to the mechanical properties of the environment in which they find themselves--crawling in some envir…
Analysis of a model microswimmer with applications to blebbing cells and mini-robots
Qixuan Wang, Hans G. Othmer
Recent research has shown that motile cells can adapt their mode of propulsion depending on the environment in which they find themselves. One mode is swimming by blebbing or other…
A Model for Direction Sensing in Dictyostelium Discoideum: Ras Activity and Symmetry Breaking Driven by a Gbetagamma- Mediated, Galpha2-Ric8 -- Dependent Signal Transduction Network
Yougan Cheng, Hans Othmer
Many eukaryotic cells, including Dictyostelium discoideum (Dicty), neutrophils and other cells of the immune system, can detect and reliably orient themselves in chemoattractant gr…
Computational Analysis of Amoeboid Swimming at Low Reynolds Number
Qixuan Wang, Hans G. Othmer
Recent experimental work has shown that eukaryotic cells can swim in a fluid as well as crawl on a substrate. We investigate the swimming behavior of Dictyostelium discoideum amoeb…
