Size and morphology of cells● Size: several to tens of μm● Various shapes
(a) 5 cells of E. coli bacteria
(b) 2 cells of yeast
(c) Human red blood cell
(d) Human white blood cell
(e) Human sperm cell
(f) Human epidermal (skin) cell
(g) Human striated muscle cell (myofibril)
(h) Human nerve cell
Why various shapes?

Red blood cell
Human (normal): diameter 8μm, height 2 μm; biconcave discoid (why?)
No inner cellular organelles. Shape is determined by membrane.

● Cell membrane is usually in liquid crystal phase
Liquid crystal phase is a necessary condition for cell as an open system
Solid shell ===> cell is dead
Isotropic fluid ==> no difference between inner and outside
of cells in equilibrium
==> cell cannot exist as an basic unit for life
Cancer might be related to the transition from LC to isotropic fluid

Some problems we may deal with● How to describe shapes mathematically?● Does there exist a universal equation to govern
the shapes?● Why is human normal RBC a biconcave
discoid?● What is the mechanical function of membrane
skeleton?● To what extend membrane proteins will
influence the shapes of membranes?

Puzzle from the shape of RBC● Sandwich model (Fung & Tong, 1968)
To obtain the shape of biconcave discoid,
they should assume the thickness of the
membrane is nonuniform in μm scale.
Pinder's experiment (1972): the nonuniform thickness exists only in
molecular (nm) scale. The thickness is uniform in large scale of μm.
● Nonuniform charge model (Lopez, 1968)Nonuniform charge distribution results in the shape of biconcave discoid.

Helfrich & Deuling (1975): the
dumbbell-like shape can have the
same curvature energy as the
biconcave disk. But dumbbell-like
shape has never observed in the

Perspectives● Lipid domains
Cell membrane consists of many different
kinds of lipid molecules which usually
form micro-domains as shown in left Fig
at physiological temperature. Each
domain contains one or several kinds of
lipid molecules.

Membrane doping and membrane protein function
Insertion of various molecules can alter the protein-membrane interaction: (1) Asymmetrical insertion of lysolipids produces a torque on the protein. (2) Introduction of toxins can alter the boundary conditions between the protein and the surrounding lipids. (3) Small rigid molecules can stiffen the membrane. [Phillips (2009) Nature]
