Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulation of Aggregation of Deformable Cells in a Shear Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation of aggregation of two deformable cells in a shear flow. This work is motivated by an attempt to develop computational models of aggregation ...
Nanostructure, Effective Properties, and Deformation Pattern of the Cochlear Outer Hair Cell Cytoskeleton
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We consider the mechanical properties of the outer hair cell cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is represented as a set of microdomains of different sizes and orientations composed of actin filaments ...
Modeling the Mechanics of Tethers Pulled From the Cochlear Outer Hair Cell Membrane
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cell membrane tethers are formed naturally (e.g., in leukocyte rolling) and experimentally to probe membrane properties. In cochlear outer hair cells, the plasma membrane is part of the trilayer ...
