Deformability and collision-induced reorientation enhance cell topotaxis in dense microenvironments
Leonie van Steijn, Joeri A. J. Wondergem, Koen Schakenraad +2
In vivo, cells navigate through complex environments filled with obstacles. Recently, the term 'topotaxis' has been introduced for navigation along topographic cues such as obstacl…
Heterogeneities Shape Passive Intracellular Transport
P. Witzel, M. Götz, Y. Lanoiselée +3
A living cell's interior is one of the most complex and intrinsically dynamic systems, providing an elaborate interplay between cytosolic crowding and ATP-driven motion, which cont…
Screening by changes in stereotypical behavior during cell motility
Luke Tweedy, Patrick Witzel, Doris Heinrich +2
Stereotyped behaviors are series of postures that show very little variability between repeats. They have been used to classify the dynamics of individuals, groups and species with…
Microparticle assembly pathways on lipid membranes
Casper van der Wel, Doris Heinrich, Daniela J. Kraft
Understanding interactions between microparticles and lipid membranes is of increasing importance, especially for unraveling the influence of microplastics on our health and enviro…
Lipid membrane-mediated attractions between curvature inducing objects
Casper van der Wel, Afshin Vahid, Anđela Šarić +3
The interplay of membrane proteins is vital for many biological processes, such as cellular transport, cell division, and signal transduction between nerve cells. Theoretical consi…
Memory improves precision of cell sensing in fluctuating environments
Gerardo Aquino, Luke Tweedy, Doris Heinrich +1
Biological cells are often found to sense their chemical environment near the single-molecule detection limit. Surprisingly, this precision is higher than simple estimates of the f…
Distinct cell shapes determine accurate chemotaxis
Luke Tweedy, Börn Meier, Jürgen Stephan +2
The behaviour of an organism often reflects a strategy for coping with its environment. Such behaviour in higher organisms can often be reduced to a few stereotyped modes of moveme…
