Phase Field Modeling of Actomyosin Driven Cell Oscillations

Abstract

In this talk, we talk about a phase field modeling of acto-myosin driven cell oscillations. In this model, we combined the dynamics of actin and myosin with the shape transformations of cell membranes. A uniform phase field formulation is given. And we developed a 3D code for the simulations. This modeling reveals the potential of using phase field methods as an important tool for biologists.
