Mathematical Modeling of Chemotaxis Guided Amoeboid Cell Swimming
Qixuan Wang, Hao Wu
Cells and microorganisms adopt various strategies to migrate in response to different environmental stimuli. To date, many modeling research has focused on the crawling-based Dicty…
Getting in shape and swimming: the role of cortical forces and membrane heterogeneity in eukaryotic cells
Hao Wu, Marco Avila Ponce de Leon, Hans G. Othmer
Recent research has shown that motile cells can adapt their mode of propulsion to the mechanical properties of the environment in which they find themselves--crawling in some envir…
Amoeboid swimming in a channel
Hao Wu, A. Farutin, W. -F. Hu +5
Several micro-organisms, such as bacteria, algae, or spermatozoa, use flagella or cilia to swim in a fluid, while many other micro-organisms instead use ample shape deformation, de…
Amoeboid motion in confined geometry
Hao Wu, M. Thiébaud, W. -F. Hu +5
Many eukaryotic cells undergo frequent shape changes (described as amoeboid motion) that enable them to move forward. We investigate the effect of confinement on a minimal model of…
