Quantitative Analysis of Cell Membrane Tension in Time-Series Imaging and A Minimal Lattice Model of Single Cell Motion
Cell membrane tension directly influences various cellular functions. In this study, we developed a method to estimate surface tension from time-series data. We obtained the curvature-velocity relationship from time-series of binarized cell shape images, and the effective surface tension term was calculated from linear regression. During the process, we observed an S-shaped pattern in the curvature-velocity relationship. To understand the dynamics, we constructed a minimal lattice model describing single-cell motion. The model consists of surface tension and protrusion formation, and the characteristic parameters are obtained from experimental observations. We found that similar patterns emerged in the curvature-velocity relationship.

Cell motility modes are selected by the interplay of mechanosensitive adhesion and membrane tension
The initiation of directional cell motion requires symmetry breaking that can happen both with or without external stimuli. During cell crawling, forces generated by the cytoskeleton and their transmission through mechan…
A promising approach for the real-time quantification of cytosolic protein-protein interactions in living cells
In recent years, cell-based assays have been frequently used in molecular interaction analysis. Cell-based assays complement traditional biochemical and biophysical methods, as they allow for molecular interaction analys…
SpecificityNanopore occlusion: A biophysical mechanism for bipolar cancellation in cell membranes
Extraordinarily large but short electric field pulses are reported by many experiments to cause bipolar cancellation (BPC). This unusual cell response occurs if a first pulse is followed by a second pulse with opposite p…
Modeling membrane curvature generation using mechanics and machine learning
The deformation of cellular membranes regulates trafficking processes, such as exocytosis and endocytosis. Classically, the Helfrich continuum model is used to characterize the forces and mechanical parameters that cells…
