چکیده
The study of cells' dynamical properties is essential to a better understanding several physiological processes. These are directly associated with mechanical parameters experimentally achieved through physical stress. micropipette aspiration essay has proven an accurate and controllable tool apply stress the cell. In this work, we explore numerical modeling two-dimensional cells using active multi-particle ring submitted aspiration. We correlate simulation experimental data obtain complete map input resulting elastic that could be measured in experiments.

Micropipette aspiration of living cells.
The mechanical behavior of living cells is studied with micropipette suction in which the surface of a cell is aspirated into a small glass tube while tracking the leading edge of its surface. Such edges can be tracked in a light microscope to an accuracy of +/-25 nm and suction pressures as small as 0.1-0.2 pN/microm2 can be imposed on the cell. Both soft cells, such as neutrophils and red cel...
متن کاملCharacterizing cell adhesion by using micropipette aspiration.
We have developed a technique to directly quantify cell-substrate adhesion force using micropipette aspiration. The micropipette is positioned perpendicular to the surface of an adherent cell and a constant-rate aspiration pressure is applied. Since the micropipette diameter and the aspiration pressure are our control parameters, we have direct knowledge of the aspiration force, whereas the cel...
متن کاملModelling Migration and Economic Agglomeration with Active Brownian Particles
We propose a stochastic dynamic model of migration and economic aggregation in a system of employed (immobile) and unemployed (mobile) agents which respond to local wage gradients. Dependent on the local economic situation, described by a production function which includes cooperative effects, employed agents can become unemployed and vice versa. The spatiotemporal distribution of employed and ...
متن کاملDynamical organization of the cytoskeletal cortex probed by micropipette aspiration.
Bleb-based cell motility proceeds by the successive inflation and retraction of large spherical membrane protrusions ("blebs") coupled with substrate adhesion. In addition to their role in motility, cellular blebs constitute a remarkable illustration of the dynamical interactions between the cytoskeletal cortex and the plasma membrane. Here we study the bleb-based motions of Entamoeba histolyti...
متن کاملMicropipette aspiration for studying cellular mechanosensory responses and mechanics.
Micropipette aspiration (MPA) is a widely applied method for studying cortical tension and deformability. Based on simple hydrostatic principles, this assay allows the application of a specific magnitude of mechanical stress on cells. This powerful method has revealed insights about cell mechanics and mechanosensing, not only in Dictyostelium discoideum but also in other cell types. In this cha...
