Structural Anisotropy Stabilises Asymmetric Beating in Instability Driven Filaments
Bethany Clarke, Yongyun Hwang, Eric E Keaveny
Asymmetries and anisotropies are widespread in biological systems, including in the structure and dynamics of cilia and eukaryotic flagella. These microscopic, hair-like appendages…

A Comparison of Instabilities and Dynamic States in Active Filament Models
Ilteber R. Ozdemir, Bethany Clarke, Yongyun Hwang +1
Active filaments, such as microtubules with attached cargo-carrying motor proteins, are important dynamic structures for fluid transport in and around living cells. The mathematica…
