Phase field model for phagocytosis dynamics
Mohammad Abu Hamed, Alexander A. Nepomnyashchy
The basic process of the innate immune system when phagocyte (white blood cell) engulf or swallow a target particle (bacterium or dead cell), is called phagocytosis. We apply the p…
Phase field model for cell spreading dynamics
Mohammad Abu Hamed, Alexander A. Nepomnyashchy
We suggest a 3D phase field model to describe 3D cell spreading on a flat substrate. The model is a simplified version of a minimal model that was developed in [1]. Our model coupl…
Three-dimensional phase field model for actin-based cell membrane dynamics
Mohammad Abu Hamed, Alexander A. Nepomnyashchy
The interface dynamics of a 3D cell immersed in a 3D extracellular matrix is investigated. We suggest a 3D generalization of a known 2D minimal phase field model suggested in [1] f…
A simple model of Keratocyte membrane dynamics
Mohammad Abu Hamed, Alexander A. Nepomnyashchy
We perform an analytical investigation of the cell interface dynamics in the framework of a minimal phase field model of cell motility suggested in [1], which consists of two coupl…
Longwave nonlinear theory for chemically active droplet division instability
Mohammad Abu Hamed, Alexander A. Nepomnyashchy
It has been suggested recently that growth and division of a protocell could be modeled by a chemically active droplet with simple chemical reactions driven by an external fuel sup…
