Encoding folding paths of RNA switches
A. Xayaphoummine, V. Viasnoff, S. Harlepp +1
RNA co-transcriptional folding has long been suspected to play an active role in helping proper native folding of ribozymes and structured regulatory motifs in mRNA untranslated re…
Spontaneous creation of macroscopic flow and metachronal waves in an array of cilia
Boris Guirao, Jean-François Joanny
Cells or bacteria carrying cilia on their surface show many striking features : alignment of cilia in an array, two-phase asymmetric beating for each cilium, coordination between c…
Random Networks Tossing Biased Coins
F. Bassetti, M. Cosentino Lagomarsino, B. Bassetti +1
In statistical mechanical investigations on complex networks, it is useful to employ random graphs ensembles as null models, to compare with experimental realizations. Motivated by…
Dynamic stability of spindles controlled by molecular motor kinetics
Otger Campas, Jaume Casademunt, Ignacio Pagonabarraga
We analyze the role of the force-dependent kinetics of motor proteins in the stability of antiparallel arrays of polar filaments, such as those in the mitotic spindle. We determine…
Osmotically Driven Shape Transformations in Axons
Pramod A. Pullarkat, Paul Dommersnes, Pablo Fernández +3
We report a cylindrical-peristaltic shape transformation in axons exposed to a controlled osmotic perturbation. The peristaltic shape relaxes and the axon recovers its original geo…
