• Most have elevated osmotic pressure, I.e a few
tens of atmospheres.
• Challenger Deep sea dropped to 10,896 m in last 8
million years (Deepest place in ocean)
• Deficient in CaCO3 at that depth
• Foraminifera (shelled protists) quickly evolved
soft, non-calcareous shells
• Likely are highly pressurized.

Water. Rupture occurs at 210% area expansion, so say
lysis tension ~ 0.016 J/M2. For
a 1 mm cell :

rupture.

• How thick does the membrane need to be?
• How thick does the wall need to be?
• Compressibility properties:

KA =
4 / 9  KV / m
KV  3m = E
K A  KV d p
Cell Walls for strength
How thick does wall need to be to withstand normal
pressures inside a bacterium, I.e. 30-60 atm. ?
Lets say lysis occurs when wall tension exceeds 5% of KA.
We can approximate KA by KVd, and for isotropic wall
material, Kv ~ E, so, assume a material E= 3 x 109 J/m3
tfailure= 0.05 KA= RP/2=0.05 E d
So to not fail,

Compression of a network
•
•
A cartesian lattice of fibers (a) subject
to compressive strain (b). The
boundary conditions are that the
angles between the segments arising
from each junction are fixed at 90
and the deformation consists in
movement of the junctions toward
each other along the three orthogonal
axes of the lattice, with no shear
deformation. The junctions, however,
are allowed to rotate as
compression progresses. This is
equivalent to the boundary conditions
in Feynman et al.36 in which fiber
ends are fixed but direction changes
under compression.

Cell Deformation and Stiffness
• Most cells are constantly deformed in vivo
by both internal and external forces.
• Experimental deformations can be done by
poking, squishing, osmotic swelling,
electrical/magnetic fields, drugs, etc.
• Cells have both area and shear stiffness,
mostly due to the cytoskeleton, although
lipids contribute some.

Necturus erythrocytes loaded with fluo-4 (10 µM) and exposed to UV
light emitted from a mercury vapor bulb and filtered through a FITC cube
(400x). (A) Cells display little fluorescence under isosmotic
conditions (n=6). (B) Addition of A23187 (0.5 µM) to the
extracellular medium increased fluorescence under isosmotic
conditions (n=6). (C) Exposure to a hypotonic (0.5x) Ringer solution
increased fluorescence compared to basal conditions (n=6). (D) A
low Ca2+ hypotonic Ringer solution (5 mM EGTA) did not display the
level of fluorescence normally observed following hypotonic
swelling (n=6).

Sickle Cell: A gel problem
• Single point defect causes Hbs- a polymerizing
tendency in deoxygenated state
• The stiff and deformed cells damage vessels
• Main approaches:
– 1. Controlling kinetics of polymerization
– 2. Regulating stiffness (rheology) of sickle cells.

(a)-(c) Serial images of a 23 mm long
relatively stiff fiber. (b) and (c) are,
respectively, 21.9 and 41.4
seconds after (a). There is little visible
bending (see also Figure 2(a)),
consistent with a long persistence
length, lp . 12.0 mm. (d)-(f) Serial
images of a 20 mm long ¯flexible
fiber. (e) and (f) are, respectively,
51.8 and 60.8 seconds after (d).
There is marked bending and a short
persistence length, lp.0.28 mm (see
also Figure 2(b)). The fibers undergo
diffusional motion and hence are not
adhering to a glass surface, rather
are free in solution, a necessary
condition for using statistical
mechanics to obtain persistence
lengths. The width of each frame is

Viscosity & Elasticity
• A complex material can be modeled as a purely
viscous material combined with a purely elastic
material, thus mathematically separating the
viscosity of a material from its elasticity. A purely
viscous component is a Newtonian fluid- it has no
memory and no elasticity; it cannot deform as a
solid. Cells generally behave as solid-liquid
composites. V-E tools can quantify their
behaviour, since the models separate viscosity
from elasticity in a kind of finite element model.
