The Dynamic Template Mechanism - A Co-Ordination Role for Shear, Thermal and Electrical Stressors in Muscle Cell Contraction
J. T. Lofthouse
The Dynamic Template is applied to muscle cells, and is shown to provide a feedback mechanism that can co-ordinate the rearrangements of cytoskeletal proteins that accompany contra…
Fluids as Dynamic Templates for Cytoskeletal Proteins in Plant Cells
J. T. Lofthouse
The Dynamic Template model of biological cell membranes and the cytoplasm as spatially organised fluid layers is extended to plant cells, and is shown to offer a feasible shear dri…
Topological Quantum Computation and Error Correction by Biological Cells
J T Lofthouse
A Topological examination of phospholipid dynamics in the Far from Equilibrium state has demonstrated that metabolically active cells use waste heat to generate spatially patterned…
Fluids as transducers of gravity in biological systems
Juanita Lofthouse
A qualitative model is presented, suggesting gravitational information is transduced into biological systems primarily by its effect on spatially organised membrane and cytoplasmic…
Spiral Phyllotaxis Pattern in an Animal Cell: A Fluid- Driven Mechanism for Red Cell Echinocytosis and Programmed Cell Death
J T Lofthouse
This paper demonstrates that the pattern of lipid spiculesthat emerge on the surface of red blood cells in the classic 'Discocyte to Echinocyte' shape change is a generative spiral…
Pattern formation in biological fluids II: cell deformation in shear fields evidences convective membrane organisation
Juanita Lofthouse
The mechanical behaviour and symmetry-breaking shape deformation of red blood cells subjected to shear flows is used to demonstrate that far from being random fluids, both the memb…
