Modelling the effect of myosin X motors on filopodia growth
Katrin Wolff, Conrad Barrett-Freeman, Martin R. Evans +2
We present a numerical simulation study of the dynamics of filopodial growth in the presence of active transport by myosin X motors. We employ both a microscopic agent-based model,…
Intracellular facilitated diffusion: searchers, crowders and blockers
C. A. Brackley, M. E. Cates, D. Marenduzzo
In bacteria, regulatory proteins search for a specific DNA binding target via "facilitated diffusion": a series of rounds of 3D diffusion in the cytoplasm, and 1D linear diffusion…
Mechanically driven growth of quasi-two dimensional microbial colonies
F. D. C. Farrell, O. Hallatschek, D. Marenduzzo +1
We study colonies of non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria growing on solid substrates. In our model, bacteria interact purely mechanically, by pushing each other away as they grow, and…
