Entropy-Driven Initiation and Cytoskeletal Viscoelasticity in Endocytosis: An Onsager Variational Framework
Jinjie Liu, Zhongcan Ouyang, Hao Wu
Receptor-mediated endocytosis requires a particle to approach the cell membrane to within a few nanometers before ligand--receptor binding can occur. Existing continuum models ofte…
Entropy-Driven Initiation and Cellular Uptake Mediated by Viscoelastic Cytoskeleton: A Kinetic Phase Diagram from Onsager Variational Principle
Jinjie Liu, Zhong-Can Ou-Yang, Hao Wu
A fundamental question in receptor-mediated endocytosis remains unanswered: what initial driving force brings ligands and receptors into close proximity? While previous models assu…
Electrostatic-Elastic Softening and Ultraviolet Instability Driven by Non-DLVO Interactions in Charged Colloidal Crystals
Hao Wu, Zhong-Can Ou-Yang
Colloidal crystals permeated by mobile ions exhibit a coupling between electrostatic and elastic degrees of freedom that renormalizes the effective screening length and induces wav…
Anisotropic Electrostatic-Elastic Softening and Stability in Charged Colloidal Crystals
Hao Wu, Zhong-Can Ou-Yang
Charged colloidal crystals exhibit a subtle interplay between electrostatic screening and elastic deformation. When an isotropic electrostatic volumetric softening acts on an aniso…
Liquid Crystal Theory of Biomembranes
Zhong-Can Ou-Yang, Tao Xu
Biomembranes, primarily composed of lipid bilayers, are not merely passive barriers but dynamic and complex materials whose shapes are governed by the principles of soft matter phy…
Phonon Dispersion in Chiral Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
Weihua Mu, Anthony Nickolas Vamivakas, Zhong-can Ou-Yang
The phonon dispersion of chiral single wall carbon nanotubes has been obtained from dyanimic matrix. The present manuscript is the extension of G. D. Mahan and Gun Sang…
