Phase Field Modeling of Dictyostelium Discoideum Chemotaxis
Yunsong Zhang, Herbert Levine, Yanxiang Zhao
A phase field approach is proposed to model the chemotaxis of Dictyostelium discoideum. In this framework, motion is controlled by active forces as determined by the Meinhardt mode…
Cell Motility Dependence on Adhesive Wetting
Yuansheng Cao, Richa Karmakar, Elisabeth Ghabache +6
Adhesive cell-substrate interactions are crucial for cell motility and are responsible for the necessary traction that propels cells. These interactions can also change the shape o…
Crawling and turning in a minimal reaction-diffusion cell motility model: coupling cell shape and biochemistry
Brian A. Camley, Yanxiang Zhao, Bo Li +2
We study a minimal model of a crawling eukaryotic cell with a chemical polarity controlled by a reaction-diffusion mechanism describing Rho GTPase dynamics. The size, shape, and sp…
Adhesion of Multi-component Vesicle Membranes
Yanxiang Zhao, Sovan Das, Qiang Du
In this work, we study the adhesion of multi-component vesicle membrane to both flat and curved substrates, based on the conventional Helfrich bending energy for multi-component ve…
