MINI-SYMPOSIA DETAILS

FGM SERIAL NUMBER:
  21
Title:
  Biomembranes and Biogels
Organizers:
  Prof. Sahraoui Chaieb
Description:
  Cells can be modeled as an elastic sheet-like biomembrane encapsulating a gel-like substance called cytoskeleton. The biomembrane which is made of a lipid bilayer gives the cell its known-shape such as blood cells and the cytoskeleton gives the cells their bulk mechanical properties such as yield stress.

This minisymposium will address the mechanics involved in modeling the shapes encountered in biological systems such as cells taking into account the fine balance between the properties and the multifunctionality of the cell membrane as well as of the cytoskeleton. We emphasize papers covering experimental and theoretical approaches.
Key Words:
  cells, cell shape, cytoskeleton, lipid bilayer, bending, actin
