Active shape-morphing elastomeric colloids in short-pitch cholesteric liquid crystals
Julian S. Evans, Yaoran Sun, Bohdan Senyuk +4
Active elastomeric liquid crystal particles with initial cylindrical shapes are obtained by means of soft lithography and polymerization in a strong magnetic field. Gold nanocrysta…
Defect driven shapes in nematic droplets: analogies with cell division
Marco Leoni, Oksana V. Manyuhina, Mark J. Bowick +1
Building on the striking similarity between the structure of the spindle during mitosis in living cells and nematic textures in confined liquid crystals, we use a continuum model o…
Purification of recombinant human and Drosophila septin hexamers for TIRF assays of actin-septin filament assembly
Manos Mavrakis, Tsai Feng-Ching, Gijsje H. Koenderink
Septins are guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that are conserved from fungi to humans. Septins assemble into heterooligomeric complexes and higher-order structures with key roles…
Precision of readout at the hunchback gene: analyzing short transcription time traces in living fly embryos
Jonathan Desponds, Huy Tran, Teresa Ferraro +7
The simultaneous expression of the hunchback gene in the numerous nuclei of the developing fly embryo gives us a unique opportunity to study how transcription is regulated in livin…
