Journal ArticleDOI
Actin Flows Mediate a Universal Coupling between Cell Speed and Cell Persistence
Paolo Maiuri,Jean-François Rupprecht,Stefan Wieser,Verena Ruprecht,Olivier Bénichou,Nicolas Carpi,Mathieu Coppey,Simon de Beco,Nir S. Gov,Carl-Philipp Heisenberg,Carolina Lage Crespo,Franziska Lautenschlaeger,Maël Le Berre,Ana-Maria Lennon-Duménil,Matthew Raab,Hawa Racine Thiam,Matthieu Piel,Michael Sixt,Raphaël Voituriez +18 more
TL;DR: It is shown on the basis of experimental data in vitro and in vivo that cell persistence, which quantifies the straightness of trajectories, is robustly coupled to cell migration speed, and suggested that this universal coupling constitutes a generic law of cell migration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lateral mobility of proteins in liquid membranes revisited.
Yann Gambin,R. López-Esparza,Myriam Reffay,Emma Sierecki,Nir S. Gov,M. Genest,Robert S. Hodges,Wladimir Urbach +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown in this work that, for several integral proteins spanning a large range of sizes, the diffusion coefficient is strongly linked to the protein dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic remodeling of the human red blood cell membrane
YongKeun Park,Catherine A. Best,Thorsten Auth,Nir S. Gov,Samuel A. Safran,Gabriel Popescu,Subra Suresh,Michael S. Feld +7 more
TL;DR: It is presented conclusive evidence that the presence of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) facilitates non-equilibrium dynamic fluctuations in the RBC membrane that are highly correlated with the biconcave shape of RBCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physics of active jamming during collective cellular motion in a monolayer
Simon Garcia,Simon Garcia,Edouard Hannezo,Edouard Hannezo,Jens Elgeti,J.-F. Joanny,Pascal Silberzan,Pascal Silberzan,Nir S. Gov +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the motion of human bronchial epithelial cells within a monolayer, over long times, was studied, and it was shown that the cells slow down monotonously, while the velocity correlation length first increases as the cells slowed down but eventually decreases at the slowest motions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Red blood cell membrane fluctuations and shape controlled by ATP-induced cytoskeletal defects.
Nir S. Gov,Samuel A. Safran +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the partially freed actin at these defect sites may explain the activation of the CFTR membrane-bound protein and the subsequent release of ATP by RBCs subjected to deformations.
