Coiling of cellular protrusions around extracellular fibers

Raj Kumar Sadhu, Christian Hernandez-Padilla, Yael Eshed Eisenbach +8

Protrusions at the leading-edge of a cell play an important role in sensing the extracellular cues, during cellular spreading and motility. Recent studies provided indications that…

Theoretical model of efficient phagocytosis driven by curved membrane proteins and active cytoskeleton forces

Raj Kumar Sadhu, Sarah R Barger, Samo Penič +4

Phagocytosis is the process of engulfment and internalization of comparatively large particles by the cell, that plays a central role in the functioning of our immune system. We st…

Modelling cellular spreading and emergence of motility in the presence of curved membrane proteins and active cytoskeleton forces

Raj Kumar Sadhu, Samo Penič, Aleš Iglič +1

Eukaryotic cells adhere to extracellular matrix during the normal development of the organism, forming static adhesion as well as during cell motility. We study this process by con…

Phase diagram of the repulsive Blume-Emery-Griffiths model in the presence of external magnetic field on a complete graph

Soheli Mukherjee, Raj Kumar Sadhu, Sumedha

For the repulsive Blume-Emery-Griffiths model the phase diagram in the space of three fields, temperature (T), crystal field (), and magnetic field (H), is computed on a complet…

Interplay between surface and bending energy helps membrane protrusion formation

Raj Kumar Sadhu, Sakuntala Chatterjee

We consider a one-dimensional elastic membrane, which is pushed by growing filaments. The filaments tend to grow by creating local protrusions in the membrane and this process has…

Actin filaments pushing against a barrier: Comparison between two force generation mechanisms

Raj Kumar Sadhu, Sakuntala Chatterjee

To theoretically understand force generation properties of actin filaments, many models consider growing filaments pushing against a movable obstacle or barrier. In order to grow,…
