Cytoplasmic streaming enables the distribution of molecules and vesicles in large plant cells

J Verchot-Lubicz, RE Goldstein - Protoplasma, 2010 - Springer
Recent studies of aquatic and land plants show that similar phenomena determine
intracellular transport of organelles and vesicles. This suggests that aspects of cell signaling …

Transport logistics in pollen tubes

Y Chebli, J Kroeger, A Geitmann - Molecular plant, 2013 - cell.com
Cellular organelles move within the cellular volume and the effect of the resulting drag
forces on the liquid causes bulk movement in the cytosol. The movement of both organelles …

A physical perspective on cytoplasmic streaming

RE Goldstein, JW Van De Meent - Interface focus, 2015 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Organisms show a remarkable range of sizes, yet the dimensions of a single cell rarely
exceed 100 µm. While the physical and biological origins of this constraint remain poorly …

Cytoplasmic streaming in plant cells emerges naturally by microfilament self-organization

FG Woodhouse, RE Goldstein - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Many cells exhibit large-scale active circulation of their entire fluid contents, a process
termed cytoplasmic streaming. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent in plant cells, often …

Membrane viscosity determined from shear-driven flow in giant vesicles

AR Honerkamp-Smith, FG Woodhouse, V Kantsler… - Physical review …, 2013 - APS
The viscosity of lipid bilayer membranes plays an important role in determining the diffusion
constant of embedded proteins and the dynamics of membrane deformations, yet it has …

Fluctuations, Dynamics, and the Stretch-Coil Transition of Single Actin Filaments<? format?> in Extensional Flows

V Kantsler, RE Goldstein - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
Semiflexible polymers subject to hydrodynamic forcing play an important role in cytoskeletal
motions in the cell, particularly when filaments guide molecular motors whose motions …

Single-particle dynamics in a low-Reynolds-number fluid under spherical confinement

G Chen, X Jiang - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
Non-colloidal dynamics of a single particle suspended in a low-Reynolds-number fluid
under spherical confinement was studied numerically. We calculated hydrodynamic …

Broken mirror symmetry of tracer's trajectories in turbulence

S Angriman, PJ Cobelli, M Bourgoin, SG Huisman… - Physical review …, 2021 - APS
Topological properties of physical systems play a crucial role in our understanding of nature,
yet their experimental determination remains elusive. We show that the mean helicity, a …

Theoretical model of confined thermoviscous flows for artificial cytoplasmic streaming

W Liao, E Erben, M Kreysing, E Lauga - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
Recent experiments in cell biology have probed the impact of artificially induced intracellular
flows in the spatiotemporal organization of cells and organisms. In these experiments, mild …

Cytoplasmic flow and mixing due to deformation of motile cells

EF Koslover, CK Chan, JA Theriot - Biophysical journal, 2017 - cell.com
The cytoplasm of a living cell is a dynamic environment through which intracellular
components must move and mix. In motile, rapidly deforming cells such as human …
