Natural convection in the cytoplasm: Theoretical predictions of buoyancy-driven flows inside a cell
Nikhil Desai, Weida Liao, Eric Lauga
The existence of temperature gradients within eukaryotic cells has been postulated as a source of natural convection in the cytoplasm, i.e. bulk fluid motion as a result of tempera…
