Amoeboid cell migration and shape dynamics driven by actin polymerization
Winfried Schmidt, Chaouqi Misbah, Alexander Farutin
Cell migration is fundamental to development, tissue organization, immune response, and disease progression. Amoeboid motility is distinguished by rapid motion and strongly fluctua…
When Blood Parts Ways: Phase Separation in Microstructured Environments
Sampad Laha, Ananta Kumar Nayak, Alexander Farutin +2
Understanding how red blood cell (RBC) suspensions navigate porous materials is critical for for both fundamental physiology, such as maternal-fetal exchange in the placenta, and t…
Contactless indentation of a soft boundary by a rigid particle in shear flow
Alexander Farutin
The dynamics of a rigid particle above a fluid-fluid interface in shear flow is studied here numerically and analytically as a function of the downward force applied on the particl…
Towards a universal law for blood flow
Alexander Farutin, Abdessamad Nait-Ouhra, Gopal Dixit +4
Despite decades of research on blood flow, an analogue of Navier-Stokes equations that accurately describe blood flow properties has not been established yet. The reason behind thi…
A numerical framework for phoretic particles
Zhe Gou, Alexander Farutin, Chaouqi Misbah
We develop a numerical a framework to study phoretic particle dynamics in two dimensions. The particles are modeled as chemically active rigid circles, which can emit or absorb a s…
Myosin-independent amoeboid cell motility
Winfried Schmidt, Walter Zimmermann, Chaouqi Misbah +1
Mammalian cell polarization and motility are important processes involved in many physiological and pathological phenomena, such as embryonic development, wound healing, and cancer…
