This paper develops a mathematical model of bleb expansion to show that TalA regulates intracellular pressure by limiting membrane expansion during blebbing, resulting in smaller and less frequent blebs in its absence.

This study examines myosin's role in regulating actin cortex dynamics during bleb stabilization using mathematical modeling and microscopy data from Dictyostelium discoideum cells.

The paper predicts nucleation sites in chemotaxing Dictyostelium discoideum using an energy functional based on membrane geometry and pressure differentials, achieving 96.8% accuracy when restricted to the expected bleb region.
