Models of dynamic extraction of lipid tethers from cell membranes
S. Nowak, T. Chou
When a ligand that is bound to an integral membrane receptor is pulled, the membrane and the underlying cytoskeleton can deform before either the membrane delaminates from the cyto…
Mechanisms of receptor/coreceptor-mediated entry of enveloped viruses
Sarah A. Nowak, Tom Chou
Enveloped viruses enter host cells either through endocytosis, or by direct fusion of the viral membrane envelope and the membrane of the host cell. However, some viruses, such as…
Frequency-dependent Chemolocation and Chemotactic Target Selection
Sarah A. Nowak, Buddhapriya Chakrabarti, Tom Chou +1
Chemotaxis is typically modeled in the context of cellular motion towards a static, exogenous source of chemoattractant. Here, we propose a time-dependent mechanism of chemotaxis i…
Dynamic Boundaries in Asymmetric Exclusion Processes
Sarah A. Nowak, Pak-Wing Fok, Tom Chou
We investigate the dynamics of a one-dimensional asymmetric exclusion process with Langmuir kinetics and a fluctuating wall. At the left boundary, particles are injected onto the l…
Maximum Angle of Stability of a Wet Granular Pile
Sarah Nowak, Azadeh Samadani, Arshad Kudrolli
Anyone who has built a sandcastle recognizes that the addition of liquid to granular materials increases their stability. However, measurements of this increased stability often co…
