- Plasma interaction with microbes (2003, background): “come to our attention more recently [ 12 ] on turgor pressures (which are the internal pressures on the cell membranes resulting from the passage of H2O across the membranes by osmosis) indicate that Gram-negative bacteria can support pressures of 3‐5 atm while the more robust Grampositive bacteria ”
- Stresses in lipid membranes (2002, background): “The Helfrich hamiltonian, quadratic in the extrinsic curvature, provides a remarkably robust description of the mechanical properties of lipid membranes (see, for example, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ], and the comprehensive review [7]).”
- Mechanics of the human red blood cell deformed by optical tweezers (2003, background): “The deformation of human red blood cell (erythrocyte) has long been a topic of considerable scienti5c interest and real-life signi5cance (see, for example, Evans and Skalak, 1980; Fung, 1993; Boal, 2002).”
- Dynamics of filaments and membranes in a viscous fluid (2009, background): “onditions under which thermal fluctuations are important. First consider a filament in solution. The filament could be a semiflexible polymer such as DNA or actin, or the flagellar filament of a bacterium (Boal, 2002). These filaments resist bending, and may be described by an energy E= A 2 Z 1 R2 ds, (1) ”
- Controlled vesicle deformation and lysis by single oscillating bubbles (2003, methodology): “We chose giant unilamellar lipid vesicles (‘artificial cells’ consisting only of a lipid bilayer membrane) as our primary object of study because of their well-defined mechanical propertie”
- Mechanical models for living cells--a review. (2006, methodology): “, 1999; Hochmuth, 2000; Boal, 2002). The team then proceeded to investigate the biomechanics of erythrocytes infected by the most virulent strain of the malaria parasite—Plasmodium falciparum. Suresh et al. (2005) concluded that as infected cell advances to its final schizont stage, the shear modulu”
- Large deformation of living cells using laser traps (2004, unknown): “The cell membrane, which consists of the phospholipid bilayer supported underneath by a spectrin network, is primarily responsible for such large deformation [6–15].”
