Statement:
We study nonlinear properties of the cell constituents. Examples include the lipid melting transition, volume transition in polyelectrolyte gels, and hydrodynamics of the cytoplasm, and their connection to biological functions such as cellular signaling and transport. Focus is given to the governing physicochemical equations that allow a quantitative description of certain biological aspects.

Keywords: scale of single-cell level, action potentials, phase transition, lipid membrane, charged polymers
