Impact of receptor-ligand distance on adhesion cluster stability
T. Erdmann, U. S. Schwarz
Cells in multicellular organisms adhere to the extracellular matrix through two-dimensional clusters spanning a size range from very few to thousands of adhesion bonds. For many co…
Stochastic dynamics of adhesion clusters under shared constant force and with rebinding
T. Erdmann, U. S. Schwarz
Single receptor-ligand bonds have finite lifetimes, so that biological systems can dynamically react to changes in their environment. In cell adhesion, adhesion bonds usually act c…
Adhesion clusters under shared linear loading: a stochastic analysis
T. Erdmann, U. S. Schwarz
We study the cooperative rupture of multiple adhesion bonds under shared linear loading. Simulations of the appropriate Master equation are compared with numerical integration of a…
Stability of adhesion clusters under constant force
T. Erdmann, U. S. Schwarz
We solve the stochastic equations for a cluster of parallel bonds with shared constant loading, rebinding and the completely dissociated state as an absorbing boundary. In the smal…
