Computational Model of Cytoskeleton Based on Tensegrity Principle
Original language description
Ingber proposed tensegrity model for cytoskeleton which viewed actin filaments as tension supporting cables and microtubules as compression-supporting struts. In present model the tensed membrane skeleton is constructed out of polyhedron and consists ofcross-linked microfilaments only. Microtubules, modelled as discrete compression members, emerge from centrosome, have unequal lengths and form a star shape. Intermediate filaments are modelled as springs in tension, tangential to nucleoskeleton and spread throughout intracellular region. In this way various more realistic computational cellular tensegrity models could be designed for better understanding of cellular mechanics.
