PSEUDOPODS CONTROLLED MIGRATION OF AN AMOEBOID CELL: A REALISTIC FINITE ELEMENT MODELConfined migration is a crucial phenomenon during embryogenesis, immune response and cancer. Here, a two-dimensional finite element model of a HeLa cell migrating across constricted-curved micro-channels is proposed. ...
By observing the fusion process between slime mold cells, we noted that after coming into contact with each other, usually via two pseudopods, a dense, fusion region develops. And after a certain point (about 20 min), that region starts thinning at different rates (faster in the neutral env...
The word appears when your cell phone is looking for a way to connect you, but the real definition of roam is “to go from place to place without purpose or direction,” which has more suggestive implications. It suggests that we have allowed our phones to become the link to our purpose...
In immune cells, monocytes often have kidney-shaped or horseshoe-shaped nuclei, with varying cell shapes including round and polygonal; macrophages are round or elliptical, with short projections, and activated ones may extend irregularly-shaped pseudopods. b) Cell Chromosome Karyotype The normal chrom...
during lymphocyte-endothelial interaction. There is a redistribution of adhesion molecules, including ICAM-1,-3, CD43, and CD44, to this structure. T cells have been found to use the uropods to contact and communicate directly with other T cells. Uropod development was promoted by physiologic ...
Due to the lack of a rigid cell wall (see Sect. “Extracellular matrix”), animal cells can have different types of rather plastic cellular protrusions. Common examples are microvilli and pseudopods. Microvilli are finger-shaped plasma membrane projections that primarily serve the purpose of cell...
Definition of the Subject We, as human beings, are made of a collection of cells, which are most commonly considered as the elementary building blocks of all livingforms on earth [5]. Whether they belong to each of the three domains of life (archaea,bacteriaoreukarya), cells are smallmembr...
What are nonsquamous epithelial cells? What functions do cilia, flagella and pseudopods have in common? What do amacrine cells do? How does cilia protect the body? Do human cells have cilia? What type of cell is an epithelial cell?
(A) The panel shows the trajectory of a cell in shape space over time as it shortens, splits pseudopods, commits to one pseudopod and lengthens again. Our aim is to distil this complex behavioral information into a small, quantifiable signature for this behavor in a manner that will ...
Pyrolysis and chemical activation by KOH were used to prepare the Bauhinia Accuminata seed pods into the biochar electrocatalyst. A 10.2-fold increase in power density over single-cell performance was attained by the parallel stacking system, which displayed minimum internal resistance and produced ...
