Cell motion, contractile networks, and the physics of interpenetrating reactive flow

M Dembo et al. Biophys J. 1986 Jul.

Abstract

In this paper we propose a physical model of contractile biological polymer networks based on the notion of reactive interpenetrating flow. We show how our model leads to a mathematical formulation of the dynamical laws governing the behavior of contractile networks. We also develop estimates of the various parameters that appear in our equations, and we discuss some elementary predictions of the model concerning the general scaling principles that pertain to the motions of contractile networks.
