    • Active Elastohydrodynamics of Vesicles in Narrow Blind Constrictions 

      Fai, Thomas; Kusters, R.; Harting, John; Rycroft, Christopher; Mahadevan, L. (American Physical Society (APS), 2017-11-10)
      Fluid-resistance limited transport of vesicles through narrow constrictions is a recurring theme in many biological and engineering applications. Inspired by the motor-driven movement of soft membrane-bound vesicles into ...
    • Lubricated Immersed Boundary Method in Two Dimensions 

      Fai, Thomas; Rycroft, Christopher (Elsevier BV, 2018-03)
      Many biological examples of fluid–structure interaction, including the transit of red blood cells through the narrow slits in the spleen and the intracellular trafficking of vesicles into dendritic spines, involve the ...
    • Quantitative biology: where modern biology meets physical sciences 

      Shekhar, Shashank; Zhu, Lian; Mazutis, Linas; Sgro, Allyson E.; Fai, Thomas G.; Podolski, Marija (The American Society for Cell Biology, 2014)
      Quantitative methods and approaches have been playing an increasingly important role in cell biology in recent years. They involve making accurate measurements to test a predefined hypothesis in order to compare experimental ...
