The cell wall is a thick layer surrounding the cell membrane, made up of cellulose, that supports the cell and gives it a regular shape. The vacuole in the plant cell contains a liquid called cell sap, which is made up of water and dissolved materials, such as sugars and mineral salts....
Starting from a general equation for organism (or cell system) growth and attributing additional cell death rate (besides the natural rate) to therapy, we derive an equation for cell response to {\alpha} radiation. Different from previous models that are based on statistical theory, the present...
Fission yeast serves as a model for how cellular polarization machinery consisting of signaling molecules and the actin and microtubule cytoskeleton regulates cell shape. In this work, we develop mathematical models to investigate how these cells maintain a tubular shape of approximately constant diameter...
Although cell-based simulation studies show how collective cell behavior can produce vascular networks and angiogenic sprouts, many lack a detailed description of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the jelly or hard materials that cells secrete. The ECM provides mechanical support to endothelial cells, an...
A protein motif that can bind Ca2+. FOCAL ADHESION A cell-to-substrate adhesion structure that anchors the ends of actin microfilaments (stress fibres) and mediates strong attachment to substrates. HEMIDESMOSOME A specialized junction between epithelial cells and the extracellular matrix that is mediat...
Many bacteria can form wall-deficient variants, or L-forms, that divide by a simple mechanism that does not require the FtsZ-based cell division machinery. Here, we use microfluidic systems to probe the growth, chromosome cycle and division mechanism of
This formulation follows the ideal Dynamic User Optimal (DUO) route and departure time choice principle and encapsulates a network version of the cell transmission model to improve the accuracy of dynamic traffic modeling. To solve the formulation, we adopt a descent method developed for co-coercive...
A thermal model for a lithium-ion cell is presented and used to predict discharge performance at different operating temperatures. The results from the simulations are compared to experimental data obtained from lithium-ion pouch cells. The model includes a set of parameters (and their concentration...

The human embryo undergoes morphogenetic transformations following implantation into the uterus, but our knowledge of this crucial stage is limited by the inability to observe the embryo in vivo. Models of the embryo derived from stem cells are important
