Evaporation-Induced Pattern Formation and Wetting in Active Microtubule-Kinesin Droplets
Vahid Nasirimarekani, Mehrana R. Nejad, Olinka Ramírez-Soto +4
Active networks composed of biopolymers and motor proteins provide versatile biomimetic systems that have advanced active matter physics and deepened our understanding of cytoskele…
Pattern formation under mechanical stress in active biological networks confined inside evaporating droplets
Vahid Nasirimarekani, Olinka Ramìrez-Soto, Stefan Karpitschka +1
Active networks made of biopolymers and motor proteins are valuable bioinspired systems that have been used in the last decades to study the cytoskeleton and its self-organization…
Active beating of a reconstituted synthetic minimal axoneme
Isabella Guido, Andrej Vilfan, Kenta Ishibashi +5
Propelling microorganisms through fluids and moving fluids along cellular surfaces are essential biological functions accomplished by long, thin structures called motile cilia and…
Cellular velocity, electrical persistence and sensing in developed and vegetative cells during electrotaxis
Isabella Guido, Douglas Diehl, Nora Aleida Olszok +1
Cells have the ability to detect electric fields and respond to them with directed migratory movement. Investigations identified genes and proteins that play important roles in def…
Hybrid sideways/longitudinal swimming in the monoflagellate Shewanella oneidensis: from aerotactic band to biofilm
Laura Stricker, Isabella Guido, Thomas Breithaupt +2
Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 are facultative aerobic electroactive bacteria, with an appealing potential for sustainable energy production and bioremediation. They gather around air…
Wrinkling instability in 3D active nematics
Tobias Strübing, Amir Khosravanizadeh, Andrej Vilfan +3
In nature interactions between biopolymers and motor proteins give rise to biologically essential emergent behaviours. Besides cytoskeleton mechanics, active nematics arise from su…
Flagella-like beating of a single microtubule
Andrej Vilfan, Smrithika Subramani, Eberhard Bodenschatz +2
Kinesin motors can induce a buckling instability in a microtubule with a fixed minus end. Here we show that by modifying the surface with a protein-repellent functionalization and…
