Vesicle Translocation into Closed Constrictions as a Function of Molecular Motor Parameters
Youngmin Park, Thomas G. Fai
We study the dynamics of molecular motor-driven transport into dendritic spines, which are bulbous intracellular compartments in neurons that play a key role in transmitting signal…
Comparison of Extended Lubrication Theories for Stokes Flow
Sarah Dennis, Thomas G. Fai
Lubrication theory makes use of the assumptions of a long and thin fluid domain and a small scaled Reynolds number to formulate a linearized approximation to the Navier-Stokes equa…
Emergence of Anti-chemotactic Flocking in Active Biomimetic Colloids
Joseph D. Lopes, Benjamin Winterstrain, Fernando Caballero +11
Competition for resources is a fundamental constraint that guides the self-organization of natural, biological, and human systems, ranging from urban planning and ecosystem develop…
Mathematical model of Nucleocytoplasmic Transport and Nuclear-to-Cell Ratio in a growing cell
Xuesong Bai, Thomas G. Fai
It has been observed that the growth of the nucleus and the cytoplasm is coordinated during cell growth, resulting in a nearly constant nuclear-to-cell volume ratio (N/C) throughou…
Comparison of Lubrication Theory and Stokes Flow in Corner Geometries with Flow Separation
Sarah Dennis, Thomas G. Fai
The Reynolds equation from lubrication theory and the Stokes equations for zero Reynolds number flows are distinct models for an incompressible fluid with negligible inertia. Here…
