Efficiency of initiating cell adhesion in hydrodynamic flow.
We theoretically investigate the efficiency of initial binding between a receptor-coated sphere and a ligand-coated wall in linear shear flow. The mean first passage time for binding decreases monotonically with increasing shear rate. Above a saturation threshold of the order of a few 100 receptor patches, the binding efficiency is enhanced only weakly by increasing their number and size, but s...
متن کاملTumor cell adhesion under hydrodynamic conditions of fluid flow.
Current evidence indicates that tumor cell adhesion to the microvasculature in host organs during formation of distant metastases is a complex process involving various types of cell adhesion molecules. Recent results have shown that stabilization of tumor cell adhesion to the microvascular vessel wall is a very important step for successful tumor cell migration and colonization of host organs....

PACS 82.39.-k – chemical kinetics in biological systems PACS 47.15.G-– fluid dynamics, low-Reynolds-number flows PACS 05.10.Gg – stochastic analysis methods (FokkerPlanck, Langevin, etc.) Abstract.-For a cell moving in hydrodynamic flow above a wall, translational and rotational degrees of freedom are coupled by the Stokes equation. In addition, there is a close coupling of convection and diffu...
متن کاملBistability of cell adhesion in shear flow.
Cell adhesion plays a central role in multicellular organisms helping to maintain their integrity and homeostasis. This complex process involves many different types of adhesion proteins, and synergetic behavior of these proteins during cell adhesion is frequently observed in experiments. A well-known example is the cooperation of rolling and stationary adhesion proteins during the leukocytes e...
متن کاملHydrodynamic glide efficiency in swimming.
The glide is a major part of starts, turns and the stroke cycle in breaststroke. Glide performance, indicated by the average velocity, can be improved by increasing the glide efficiency, that is, the ability of the body to minimise deceleration. This paper reviews the factors that affect glide efficiency. In the first part of the review the sources of resistive force are reviewed including surf...
