A viscoelastic theory for ultrasound-induced intracellular streaming
Niels Gieseler, Falko Ziebert, Ulrich S. Schwarz
Ultrasound is increasingly used to control biological cells, but its multiple physical effects, including radiation force, streaming, heating, and cavitation, require theoretical f…
Pathway variability, coat stiffening and mechanical adaptation during clathrin-mediated endocytosis
Johannes H. H. Dreckhoff, Ulrich S. Schwarz, Leon Lettermann
Clathrin assemblies in cells can persist as flat plaques, abort after partial invagination, or close into clathrin-coated vesicles, but the determinants of these different fates re…
A theory for coexistence and selection of branched actin networks in a shared and finite pool of monomers
Valentin Wössner, Falko Ziebert, Ulrich S. Schwarz
Cellular actin structures are continuously turned over while keeping similar sizes. Since they all compete for a shared pool of actin monomers, the question arises how they can coe…
Active gel theory for cell migration with two myosin isoforms
Nils O. Winkler, Oliver M. Drozdowski, Falko Ziebert +1
Myosin II molecular motors slide actin filaments relatively to each other and are essential for force generation, motility and mechanosensing in animal cells. For non-muscle cells,…
Three-dimensional chiral active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model for helical motion of microorganisms
Leon Lettermann, Falko Ziebert, Mirko Singer +2
Active movement is essential for the survival of microorganisms like bacteria, algae and unicellular parasites. In three dimensions, both swimming and gliding microorganisms often…
Cell bulging and extrusion in a three-dimensional bubbly vertex model for curved epithelial sheets
Oliver M. Drozdowski, Büşra Kocameşe, Kim E. Boonekamp +2
Cell extrusion is an essential mechanism for controlling cell density in epithelial tissues. Another essential element of epithelia is curvature, which is required to achieve compl…
The positioning of stress fibers in contractile cells minimizes internal mechanical stress
Lukas Riedel, Valentin Wössner, Dominic Kempf +3
The mechanics of animal cells is strongly determined by stress fibers, which are contractile filament bundles that form dynamically in response to extracellular cues. Stress fibers…
Active gel model for one-dimensional cell migration coupling actin flow and adhesion dynamics
Valentin Wössner, Oliver M. Drozdowski, Falko Ziebert +1
Migration of animal cells is based on the interplay between actin polymerization at the front, adhesion along the cell-substrate interface, and actomyosin contractility at the back…
The role of the nucleus for cell mechanics: an elastic phase field approach
Robert Chojowski, Ulrich S. Schwarz, Falko Ziebert
The nucleus of eukaryotic cells typically makes up around 30% of the cell volume and has significantly different mechanics, which can make it effectively up to ten times stiffer th…
