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…
