Membrane Elastic Properties and Cell Function
Recent studies indicate that the cell membrane, interacting with its attached cytoskeleton, is an important regulator of cell function, exerting and responding to forces. We investigate this relationship by looking for connections between cell membrane elastic properties, especially surface tension and bending modulus, and cell function. Those properties are measured by pulling tethers from the...
متن کاملcompactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops
chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...
15 صفحه اولContribution of membrane elastic energy to rhodopsin function.
We considered the issue of whether shifts in the metarhodopsin I (MI)-metarhodopsin II (MII) equilibrium from lipid composition are fully explicable by differences in bilayer curvature elastic stress. A series of six lipids with known spontaneous radii of monolayer curvature and bending elastic moduli were added at increasing concentrations to the matrix lipid 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-...
متن کاملRed cell membrane cytoskeleton and the control of membrane properties.
Introduction The material properties of the red cell membrane, in particular its unique stability towards shearing forces and its elasticity with respect to linear deformation, result from the interaction of the phospholipid bilayer with the membrane cytoskeleton that covers its cytoplasmic surface. When this protein network is extracted or destroyed by proteolysis the membrane spontaneously ve...
متن کاملIdentification of Elastic Properties Based on Belief Function Inference
In this paper, we consider parameter identification from measurement fields in an uncertain environment. An approach based on the theory of belief functions is developed to take into account all possible sources of information. Information from measurements is described through likelihood-based belief functions, while consonant random sets are used to handle prior information on the model param...
