Non-affine mechanics of entangled networks inspired by intermediate filaments
M. Pensalfini, T. Golde, X. Trepat +1
Inspired by massive intermediate filament (IF) reorganization in superstretched epithelia, we examine computationally the principles controlling the mechanics of a set of entangled…
Peeling dynamics of fluid membranes bridged by molecular bonds: moving or breaking
Dimitri Kaurin, Pradeep K. Bal, Marino Arroyo
Biological adhesion is a critical mechanical function of complex organisms operating at multiple scales. At the cellular scale, cell-cell adhesion is remarkably tunable to enable b…
A theory for the flow of chemically-responsive polymer solutions: equilibrium and shear-induced phase separation
Marco De Corato, Marino Arroyo
Chemically-responsive polymers are macromolecules that respond to local variations of the chemical composition of the solution by changing their conformation, with notable examples…
Binding of anisotropic curvature-inducing proteins onto membrane tubes
Hiroshi Noguchi, Caterina Tozzi, Marino Arroyo
Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs superfamily proteins and other curvature-inducing proteins have anisotropic shapes and anisotropically bend biomembrane. Here, we report how the anisotropic pro…
