Onset of Air Entrainment by a smooth plunging jet under atmospheric pressure
Alain Cartellier, Juan Lasheras
The onset of air entrainment by a smooth vertical liquid jet impacting a pool of the same liquid has been experimentally determined. The ranges of parameters covered complement tho…
A model for the oscillatory flow in the cerebral aqueduct
S. Sincomb, W. Coenen, A. L. Sánchez +1
This paper addresses the pulsating motion of cerebrospinal fluid in the aqueduct of Sylvius, a slender canal connecting the third and fourth ventricles of the brain. Specific atten…
Interaction of a migrating cell monolayer with a flexible fiber
Leticia Valencia, Verónica López-Llorente, Juan C. Lasheras +2
Mechanical forces influence the development and behavior of biological tissues. In many situations these forces are exerted or resisted by elastic compliant structures such as the…
Self-organized mechano-chemical dynamics in amoeboid locomotion of Physarum fragments
Shun Zhang, Robert D. Guy, Juan C. Lasheras +1
The aim of this work is to quantify the spatio-temporal dynamics of flow-driven amoeboid locomotion in small (100 m) fragments of the true slime mold \phys {\it polycephal…
Distribution of Traction Forces and Intracellular Markers Associated with Shape Changes During Amoeboid Cell Migration
Juan C. Lasheras, BaLdomeRo Alonso-Latorre, Ruedi Meili +3
During migration, amoeboid cells perform a cycle of quasi-periodic repetitive events (motility cycle). the cell length and the strain energy exchanged with the substrate oscillate…
Three-Dimensional Quantification of Cellular Traction Forces and Mechanosensing of Thin Substrata by Fourier Traction Force Microscopy
Juan C del Alamo, Ruedi Meili, Begoña Alvarez-Gonzalez +4
We introduce a novel three-dimensional (3D) traction force microscopy (TFM) method motivated by the recent discovery that cells adhering on plane surfaces exert both in-plane and o…
