Twofold mechanosensitivity ensures actin cortex reinforcement upon peaks in mechanical tension
Valentin Ruffine, Andreas Hartmann, Michael Schlierf +1
The actin cortex is an active biopolymer network underneath the plasma membrane at the periphery of mammalian cells. It is a major regulator of cell shape through the generation of…
On the role of mechanosensitive binding dynamics in the pattern formation of active surfaces
M. Bonati, L. D. Wittwer, S. Aland +1
The actin cortex of an animal cell is a thin polymeric layer attached to the inner side of the plasma membrane. It plays a key role in shape regulation and pattern formation on the…
Connectedness matters: Construction and exact random sampling of connected graphs
Szabolcs Horvát, Carl D. Modes
We describe a new method for the random sampling of connected networks with a specified degree sequence. We consider both the case of simple graphs and that of loopless multigraphs…
Modular gateway-ness connectivity and structural core organization in maritime network science
Mengqiao Xu, Qian Pan, Alessandro Muscoloni +2
Around 80% of global trade by volume is transported by sea, and thus the maritime transportation system is fundamental to the world economy. To better exploit new international shi…
Cell Mechanics Based Computational Classification of Red Blood Cells Via Machine Intelligence Applied to Morpho-Rheological Markers
Yan Ge, Philipp Rosendahl, Claudio Durán +4
Despite fluorescent cell-labelling being widely employed in biomedical studies, some of its drawbacks are inevitable, with unsuitable fluorescent probes or probes inducing a functi…
The Poisson ratio of the cellular actin cortex is frequency-dependent
Marcel Mokbel, Kamran Hosseini, Sebastian Aland +1
Cell shape changes are vital for many physiological processes such as cell proliferation, cell migration and morphogenesis. They emerge from an orchestrated interplay of active cel…
