Learning force fields from stochastic trajectories
Anna Frishman, Pierre Ronceray
When monitoring the dynamics of stochastic systems, such as interacting particles agitated by thermal noise, disentangling deterministic forces from Brownian motion is challenging.…
Fiber plucking by molecular motors yields large emergent contractility in stiff biopolymer networks
Pierre Ronceray, Chase P. Broedersz, Martin Lenz
The mechanical properties of the cell depend crucially on the tension of its cytoskeleton, a biopolymer network that is put under stress by active motor proteins. While the fibrous…
Stress-dependent amplification of active forces in nonlinear elastic media
Pierre Ronceray, Chase Broedersz, Martin Lenz
The production of mechanical stresses in living organisms largely relies on localized, force-generating active units embedded in filamentous matrices. Numerical simulations of disc…
