The Fluid Mosaic Model01:34

The Fluid Mosaic Model

178.4K
The fluid mosaic model was first proposed as a visual representation of research observations. The model comprises the composition and dynamics of membranes and serves as a foundation for future membrane-related studies. The model depicts the structure of the plasma membrane with a variety of components, which include phospholipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. These integral molecules are loosely bound, defining the cell’s border and providing fluidity for optimal function.

Morphogenesis02:19

Morphogenesis

30.5K
Plant morphogenesis—the development of a plant’s form and structure—involves several overlapping developmental processes, including growth and cell differentiation. Precursor cells differentiate into specific cell types, which are organized into the tissues and organ systems that make up the functional plant.

Fluid Mosaic Model

16.7K
Scientists identified the plasma membrane in the 1890s and its principal chemical components (lipids and proteins) by 1915. The model for plasma membrane structure, proposed in 1935 by Hugh Davson and James Danielli, was the first model to be widely accepted in the scientific community. The model was based on the plasma membrane's "railroad track" appearance in early electron micrographs. Davson and Danielli theorized that the plasma membrane's structure resembled a sandwich...

Oscillations In An LC Circuit01:30

Oscillations In An LC Circuit

3.1K
An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. In such an LC circuit, if the capacitor contains a charge q before the switch is closed, then all the energy of the circuit is initially stored in the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is given by

Forced Oscillations01:06

Forced Oscillations

8.0K
When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined.

Damped Oscillations01:07

Damped Oscillations

7.3K
In the real world, oscillations seldom follow true simple harmonic motion. A system that continues its motion indefinitely without losing its amplitude is termed undamped. However, friction of some sort usually dampens the motion, so it fades away or needs more force to continue. For example, a guitar string stops oscillating a few seconds after being plucked. Similarly, one must continually push a swing to keep a child swinging on a playground.
Although friction and other non-conservative...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Mathematical Biology
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Epithelial morphogenesis involves complex cell shape changes regulated by mechanical forces.
  • Existing models like the Belintsev et al. (BB) model provide a foundation for understanding these processes.
  • The oscillatory nature of morphogenesis and stability analysis are crucial for a comprehensive model.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To revise the BB model of epithelial morphogenesis.
  • To incorporate oscillatory dynamics and mechanical feedback mechanisms.
  • To explain epithelial surface movements observed in Metazoan gastrulation.

Main Methods:

  • Revision of the mathematical BB model.
  • Inclusion of feedback control of cell shape changes by mechanical forces.
  • Analysis of epithelial surface movements as an incompressible fluid with positive feedback.

Main Results:

  • A unified mechanism for short- and long-ranged regulation of collective cell and surface movements is proposed, based on dipole interactions.
  • Epithelial surface movement is characterized by oscillations in lateral pressure and curvature, leading to self-restriction of spreading.
  • Bistable interdependence between lateral pressure and curvature generates oscillatory contours, enabling directional propulsion and spatial differentiation.

Conclusions:

  • The revised model explains epithelial surface movements in gastrulation through mechanical feedback and fluid dynamics.
  • Oscillatory dynamics of pressure and curvature are key to collective cell movement and tissue patterning.
  • The model provides a framework for understanding self-organization and pattern formation in epithelial tissues.
