Polarization of the Drosophila oocyte by active cortical exchange
Mohammadhossein Firouznia, Wen Lu, Margot Lakonishok +3
Anterior-posterior polarization in the Drosophila oocyte requires posterior localization of oskar mRNA. oskar mRNA is produced in the anteriorly situated nurse cells, moved into th…
Traveling Waves Enhance Transport during Cytoplasmic Streaming in Drosophila Oogenesis
Olenka Jain, David B. Stein, Reza Farhadifar +3
Cytoplasmic streaming is believed crucial to large developing cells, such as oocytes, where flow provides a much faster route to transport and mixing of cellular components than mo…
Self-construction and destruction of living transport networks
Chanoknun Sintavanuruk, Yoichiro Mori, Reza Farhadifar +1
Biological transport networks adapt through dynamic interactions between material transport and structural modification during growth and development. In this work, we present a mo…
Geometric Effects in Large Scale Intracellular Flows
Olenka Jain, Brato Chakrabarti, Reza Farhadifar +3
This work probes the role of cell geometry in orienting self-organized fluid flows in the late stage Drosophila oocyte. Recent theoretical work has shown that a model, which relies…
A first-principles geometric model for dynamics of motor-driven centrosomal asters
Yuan-Nan Young, Vicente Gomez Herrera, Helena Z. Huan +2
The centrosomal aster is a mobile cellular organelle that exerts and transmits forces necessary for nuclear migration and spindle positioning. Recent experimental and theoretical s…
Mechanics and morphology of proliferating cell collectives with self-inhibiting growth
Scott Weady, Bryce Palmer, Adam Lamson +3
We study the dynamics of proliferating cell collectives whose microscopic constituents' growth is inhibited by macroscopic growth-induced stress. Discrete particle simulations of a…
Self-organized intracellular twisters
Sayantan Dutta, Reza Farhadifar, Wen Lu +7
Life in complex systems, such as cities and organisms, comes to a standstill when global coordination of mass, energy, and information flows is disrupted. Global coordination is no…
