Resumen:
|
The study of cells helps us understand how organisms function. After all, our bodies are made up of trillions of cells. There are many processes that cells must complete to carry out their life functions and to meet their basic needs. In the present thesis, we will study the physics of some cellular processes in which the effect of cell size and membrane curvature plays a major role. First, we will investigate the mechanics of constriction during cell division. Cell division is the process of formation of new daughter cells from the pre?existing mother cell. An important phase preceding division is cell constriction, a non?spontaneous process which involves large membrane deformations at the site of fission. In this thesis, we will investigate the mechanical route for symmetric constriction using a model cell composed by a flexible membrane that encloses the cytoplasm...
