Sedimentation-induced tether on a settling vesicle.
Destabilization of soft interfaces into thin cylindrical filaments under external stresses is ubiquitous and is generally the first step toward breakup. We show that such filaments, called tethers, emerge from a vesicle subjected to gravity. Contrary to the pendant drop experiment, we demonstrate that the bending rigidity, a specific membrane property of vesicles, ensures the tethers reach a st...
متن کاملGRASP: A Multitasking Tether
Originally identified as Golgi stacking factors in vitro, the Golgi reassembly stacking protein (GRASP) family has been shown to act as membrane tethers with multiple cellular roles. As an update to previous comprehensive reviews of the GRASP family (Giuliani et al., 2011; Vinke et al., 2011; Jarvela and Linstedt, 2012), we outline here the latest findings concerning their diverse roles. New in...
متن کاملA Perspective on Computational Aerothermodynamics at NASA
The evolving role of computational aerothermodynamics (CA) within NASA over the past 20 years is reviewed. The paper highlights contributions to understanding the Space Shuttle pitching moment anomaly observed in the first shuttle flight, prediction of a static instability for Mars Pathfinder, and the use of CA for damage assessment in post-Columbia missionsupport. In the view forward, several ...
متن کاملTether before synapse
Tether before synapse C hemokines are captured on the surface of dendritic cells in lymph nodes, and they in turn capture T cells, say Rachel Friedman, Jordan Jacobelli, and Matthew Krummel (University of California, San Francisco, CA). The tethered T cells continue to search for a site worthy of a full immunological synapse, which they can form with either the same or another antigen-presentin...
متن کاملNASA CONFERENCE on SPACE TELEROBOTICS
Mechanical Engineering Department University of Minnesota Minneapolis, MN 55455 USA Abstract Robot manipulators are designed to perform tasks which would otherwise be executed by a human operator. No manipulator can even approach the speed and accuracy with which humans execute these tasks. But manipulators have the capability to exceed human ability in one particular area; strength. Through an...
