    "abstract": "The mechanical behaviour and symmetry-breaking shape deformation of red blood\ncells subjected to shear flows is used to demonstrate that far from being\nrandom fluids, both the membrane and cytoplasm of every biological cell undergo\nspatially organised convective and shear driven flows when the cell maintains a\nNear Equilibrium state through continuousmetabolic activity. The model\ndemonstrates that fluid bifurcation events drive cell shape changes, rather\nthan a Meccano like cytoskeletal structure, and represents a significant\nGestalt shift in models of cell mechanics.",
