In their model, the minimal contractile force required for stabilizing each of these intermediate shapes is proportional to the global steady state stiffness of the cell and is dependent on the extent of furrow ingression.
The cleavage furrow cortex increases in stiffness above the global stiffness in mammalian cells as determined by atomic force microscopy [ 23 ] . This regional increase in stiffness is likely to occur in most or all metazoan and ameboid cells.
The fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is characterized by wide spread pain in the body, associated with particular tender points [ 1 2 ] . It is often accompanied by unrestorative sleep patterns, fatigue, headaches, irritable bowel and bladder syndrome, morning stiffness, paresthesias, anxiety, and depression [ 2 3 ] .
