Ethology and rheology of an amoeboid cell
We will show that ability of information processing in an amoeboid organism is higher than we had thought. The model organism is the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum (true slime mold), which is a large aggregate of protoplasm with many nuclei. The organism found the optimal path when it obtained the multiple locations of food. A simple mathematical model for the path finding was proposed in ...
متن کاملBlood cell rheology in acute cerebral infarction.
Recently it has been hypothesized that leukocyte rheology could be a relevant variable of the microcirculation during cerebral ischemia. However, relatively few studies have been carried out on the rheologic behavior of leukocytes in vascular diseases. This study aimed at quantifying the filterability through Nuclepore filters (mean pore diameter 5 microns) of both leukocyte subpopulations and ...
متن کاملOptical rheology for live cell membranes
We present a novel optical methodology including both instrumentation and theory aimed at retrieving the full viscoelastic information of cell membrane material properties. Red blood cells (RBC) are chosen for this study because of their simple structure, which consists of a bi-layer cell membrane supported by a cytoskeleton enclosing a homogeneous fluid. The full complex modulus of RBC in term...
متن کاملAnesthetics and red blood cell rheology
There are many conditions where it is useful for anesthetists to have a knowledge of blood rheology.Blood rheology plays an important role in numerous clinical situations.Hemorheologic changes may significantly affect the induction and recovery times with anesthetic agents.But also, hemorheologic factors are directly or indirectly affected by many anesthetic agents or their metabolites.In this ...
متن کاملQuantifying cell-to-cell variation in power-law rheology.
Among individual cells of the same source and type, the complex shear modulus G(∗) exhibits a large log-normal distribution that is the result of spatial, temporal, and intrinsic variations. Such large distributions complicate the statistical evaluation of pharmacological treatments and the comparison of different cell states. However, little is known about the characteristic features of cell-t...
