Dynamics of a Bilayer Membrane Coupled to a Two-dimensional Cytoskeleton: Scale Transfers of Membrane Deformations [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 96, 012416 (2017), 2017 We theoretically investigate the dynamics of a floating lipid bilayer membrane coupled with a two-dimensional cytoskeleton network, taking into explicitly account the intermonolayer friction, the discrete lattice structure of the cytoskeleton, and its ...

Models of dynamic extraction of lipid tethers from cell membranes [PDF]
, 2010 When a ligand that is bound to an integral membrane receptor is pulled, the membrane and the underlying cytoskeleton can deform before either the membrane delaminates from the cytoskeleton or the ligand detaches from the receptor.

Cytoskeleton influence on normal and tangent fluctuation modes in the red blood cells [PDF]
, 2006 We argue that the paradoxal softness of the red blood cells (RBC) in fluctuation spectra experiments is apparent. We show that the effective surface shear modulus $\mu_s$ of the RBC obtained from fluctuation data and that measured in static deformation ...

Stochastic Dynamics of Magnetosomes in Cytoskeleton [PDF]
, 2004 Rotations of microscopic magnetic particles, magnetosomes, embedded into the cytoskeleton and subjected to the influence of an ac magnetic field and thermal noise are considered.

Finite-size effects in intracellular microrheology [PDF]
, 2006 We propose a model to explain finite-size effects in intracellular microrheology observed in experiments. The constrained dynamics of the particles in the intracellular medium, treated as a viscoelastic medium, is described by means of a diffusion ...

Synthesis of spectrin in avian erythroid cells: association of nascent polypeptide chains with the cytoskeleton [PDF]
, 1983 The site of synthesis of spectrin was investigated in erythroid cells from 10-day chicken embryos. After various periods of [35S]methionine incorporation the cells were lysed in a Triton X-100 (TX-100)-containing buffer and were separated into a TX-100 ...

Force balance and membrane shedding at the Red Blood Cell surface [PDF]
, 2006 During the aging of the red-blood cell, or under conditions of extreme echinocytosis, membrane is shed from the cell plasma membrane in the form of nano-vesicles.

Spatial Organization of the Cytoskeleton enhances Cargo Delivery to Specific Target Areas on the Plasma Membrane of Spherical Cells [PDF]
Phys. Biol. 13 (2016) 066003, 2016 Intracellular transport is vital for the proper functioning and survival of a cell. Cargo (proteins, vesicles, organelles, etc.) is transferred from its place of creation to its target locations via molecular motor assisted transport along cytoskeletal ...
