Figure 8


Fig. 8. Impact of cytoplasmic viscosity {eta} and cortical tension {gamma} on transitional cell shapes. (Top) Two patterns in the spreading of an initially hemispherical droplet. (Bottom) Simulations of 11-µm-bead phagocytosis with two different levels of membrane slack (26% and 52%). Tension is plotted [black, normal slack (taut), grey, increased slack] together with cell shapes at 60 seconds. Notice the effacement of the body-lamella contact angle in the taut simulation.
