Mechanical complexity of living cells can be mapped onto simple homogeneous equivalents
Sebastian Wohlrab, Sebastian J. Müller, Stephan Gekle
Biological cells are built up from many different constituents of varying size and stiffness which all contribute to the cell's mechanical properties. Despite this heterogeneity, i…
Predicting cell stress and strain during extrusion bioprinting
Sebastian Johannes Müller, Ben Fabry, Stephan Gekle
Bioprinting of living cells can cause major shape deformations, which may severely affect cell survival and functionality. While the shear stresses occurring during cell flow throu…
Red blood cell shape transitions and dynamics in time-dependent capillary flows
Steffen M. Recktenwald, Katharina Graessel, Felix M. Maurer +3
The dynamics of single red blood cells (RBCs) determine microvascular blood flow by adapting their shape to the flow conditions in the narrow vessels. In this study, we explore the…
Vortical flow structures induced by red blood cells in capillaries
François Yaya, Johannes Römer, Achim Guckenberger +4
Knowledge about the flow field of the plasma around the red blood cells in capillary flow is important for a physical understanding of blood flow and the transport of micro- and na…
A hyperelastic model for simulating cells in flow
Sebastian J. Müller, Franziska Weigl, Carina Bezold +4
In the emerging field of 3D bioprinting, cell damage due to large deformations is considered a main cause for cell death and loss of functionality inside the printed construct. Tho…
Computational modeling of active deformable membranes embedded in 3D flows
Christian Bächer, Stephan Gekle
Active gel theory has recently been very successful in describing biologically active materials such as actin filaments or moving bacteria in temporally fixed and simple geometries…
