New computer simulations from UMD reveal that much like earthquakes cell “quakes”—sudden restructuring of the cytoskeleton, or scaffolding, inside animal cells—is caused by the slow buildup and rapid release of mechanical energy. This image shows a simulated model cytoskeleton (red, green and blue mesh) contained within a cell membrane depicted in light blue. Click image to download hi-res version.
