在液体中爬行
Crawling in a fluid
摘要:
越来越多的证据表明,哺乳动物细胞不仅可以在基质上爬行,而且还可以在液体中游泳。为了阐明悬浮液中细胞运动的发病机制,提出了一个模型,该模型将肌动蛋白和肌球蛋白动力学耦合到流体流动中,并求解为球形。根据关键参数提取游泳速度。我们分析发现,从一个非能动的能动状态,也自发的极性振荡产生的Hopf分岔的超临界和亚临界分岔。放松球形假设,得到的形状显示出吸引人的趋势。
英文摘要:
There is increasing evidence that mammalian cells not only crawl on substrates but can also swim in fluids. To elucidate the mechanisms of the onset of motility of cells in suspension, a model which couples actin and myosin kinetics to fluid flow is proposed and solved for a spherical shape. The swimming speed is extracted in terms of key parameters. We analytically find super- and subcritical bifurcations from a non-motile to a motile state and also spontaneous polarity oscillations that arise from a Hopf bifurcation. Relaxing the spherical assumption, the obtained shapes show appealing trends.
