Cellular wrapping of elastic particles by a supported lipid membrane
Amir Khosravanizadeh, Pierre Sens, Farshid Mohammad-Rafiee
Constancy of life vitally depends on the internalization of particles through biomembranes. Of particular interest, cellular uptake, including phagocytosis, receptor-mediated endoc…
Mechanical properties of chiral actin filaments
Amir Khosravanizadeh, François Nédélec, Serge Dmitrieff
The mechanical properties of actin filaments are essential to their biological functions. Here, we introduce a highly coarse-grained model of actin filaments that preserves helicit…
Rotation-Beating dynamics of a driven flexible filament: role of motor protein properties
Amir Khosravanizadeh, Serge Dmitrieff
We have used numerical simulations to investigate how the properties of motor proteins control the dynamical behavior of a driven flexible filament. The filament is pinned at one e…
Role of particle local curvature in cellular wrapping
Amir Khosravanizadeh, Pierre Sens, Farshid Mohammad-Rafiee
Cellular uptake through the lipid membranes plays an important role in adsorbing nutrients and fighting infection and can be used for drug delivery and nanomedicine developments. E…
Wrinkling instability in 3D active nematics
Tobias Strübing, Amir Khosravanizadeh, Andrej Vilfan +3
In nature interactions between biopolymers and motor proteins give rise to biologically essential emergent behaviours. Besides cytoskeleton mechanics, active nematics arise from su…
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis of a Cylindrical Nanoparticle in the Presence of Cytoskeleton Substrate
Amir Khosravanizadeh, Pierre Sens, Farshid Mohammad-Rafiee
Internalization of particles by cells plays a crucial role for adsorbing nutrients and fighting infection. Endocytosis is one of the most important mechanisms of the particles upta…
