Mechanobiology predicts raft formations triggered by ligand-receptor activity across the cell membrane
A. R. Carotenuto, L. Lunghi, V. Piccolo +6
Clustering of ligand-binding receptors of different types on thickened isles of the cell membrane, namely lipid rafts, is an experimentally observed phenomenon. Although its influe…
Disarrangements and instabilities in 1D hyperelasticity
S. Palumbo, L. Deseri, D. R. Owen +1
In the present work, the overall nonlinear elastic behavior of a 1D multi-modular structure incorporating possible imperfections at the discrete (micro-scale) level, is derived wit…
Buckling Soft Tensegrities: Fickle Elasticity and Configurational Switching in Living Cells
Massimiliano Fraldi, Stefania Palumbo, Angelo Rosario Carotenuto +3
Tensegrity structures are special architectures made by floating compressed struts kept together by a continuous system of tensed cables. The multiplicity of shapes that tensegrity…
