This paper develops a multiphysics framework to model cell migration by coupling osmotic flow with actin dynamics, showing enhanced cell deformation and migration through nonlinear interactions.

This study shows that non-excitable cells have spatially varying membrane potentials linked to anionic lipid distribution and mechanical factors, challenging the traditional view of membrane potential regulation.

This study identifies a mechanism where cytoskeletal activation of NHE1 drives secondary volume increase and affects cell proliferation in response to hypotonic stress.

The paper uses a physics-based model to show how polarized ion carriers and environmental gradients affect intracellular pH, electric potential, and cell movement.
