Collective Langevin Dynamics of Flexible Cytoskeletal Fibers
Francois Nedelec, Dietrich Foethke
We develop a numerical method to simulate mechanical objects in a viscous medium at a scale where inertia is negligible. Fibers, spheres and other voluminous objects are represente…

Force and length-dependent catastrophe activities explain interphase microtubule organization in fission yeast
Dietrich Foethke, Tatyana Makushok, Damian Brunner +1
The cytoskeleton is essential for the maintenance of cell morphology in eukaryotes. In fission yeast for example, polarized growth sites are organized by actin whereas microtubules…

Computer Simulations Reveal Motor Properties generating stable anti-parallel Microtubule interactions
Francois Nedelec
An aster of microtubules is a set of flexible polar filaments with dynamic plus-ends, which irradiate from a common location at which the minus ends of the filaments are found. Pro…
