A particle dynamics model may provide insight into diseases and deformities linked to disruptions in cell development

Wednesday, July 30, 2014 - 08:30 in Biology & Nature

A computer-based model of cell particle dynamics shows that the lopsided torque produced by forces within a cell may explain the previously puzzling motion and shape of rotating cell pairs. The model provides novel insights that challenge current thinking about the causes of developmental abnormalities and of cancer and other diseases linked to disrupted cell rotation.
