The proportional scaling of mRNA and ribosome concentrations controls eukaryotic cell growth
Xin Gao, Michael Lanz, Rosslyn Grosely +3
Cell growth underlies nearly all eukaryotic physiology, yet its quantitative principles remain unclear. Using single-molecule ribosome tracking, spike-in RNA sequencing, and quanti…
Red blood cells and other non-spherical capsules in shear flow: oscillatory dynamics and the tank-treading-to-tumbling transition
J. M. Skotheim, T. W. Secomb
We consider the motion of red blood cells and other non-spherical microcapsules dilutely suspended in a simple shear flow. Our analysis indicates that depending on the viscosity, m…
Soft lubrication: the elastohydrodynamics of non-conforming and conforming contacts
J. M. Skotheim, L. Mahadevan
We study the lubrication of fluid-immersed soft interfaces and show that elastic deformation couples tangential and normal forces and thus generates lift. We consider materials tha…
Dynamics of poroelastic filaments
J. M. Skotheim, L. Mahadevan
We investigate the stability and geometrically non-linear dynamics of slender rods made of a linear isotropic poroelastic material. Dimensional reduction leads to the evolution equ…
Soft lubrication
J. M. Skotheim, L. Mahadevan
We consider some basic principles of fluid-induced lubrication at soft interfaces. In particular, we show how the presence of a soft substrate leads to an increase in the physical…
