Pattern formation and the mechanics of a motor-driven filamentous system confined by rigid membranes
Mitsusuke Tarama, Tatsuo Shibata
Pattern formation and the mechanics of a mixture of actin filaments and myosin motors that is confined by a rigid membrane is investigated. By using a coarse-grained molecular dyna…
Non-monotonic fluidization generated by fluctuating edge tensions in confluent tissues
Takaki Yamamoto, Daniel M. Sussman, Tatsuo Shibata +1
In development and homeostasis, multi-cellular systems exhibit spatial and temporal heterogeneity in their biochemical and mechanical properties. Nevertheless, it remains unclear h…
Collective cell migration of epithelial cells driven by chiral torque generation
Takaki Yamamoto, Tetsuya Hiraiwa, Tatsuo Shibata
Various multicellular tissues show chiral morphology. Experimental studies have shown this can originate from cell chirality. However, no theory has been proposed to connect the ce…
Relevance of intracellular polarity to accuracy of eukaryotic chemotaxis
Tetsuya Hiraiwa, Akihiro Nagamatsu, Naohiro Akuzawa +2
Chemotactic cells establish cell polarity in the absence of external guidance cues. Such self-organized polarity is induced by spontaneous symmetry breaking in the intracellular ac…
Fluctuation analysis of mechanochemical coupling depending on the type of bio-molecular motor
Masatoshi Nishikawa, Hiroaki Takagi, Atsuko H. Iwane +1
Mechanochemical coupling was studied for two different types of myosin motors in cells: myosin V, which carries cargo over long distances by as a single molecule; and myosin II, wh…
Nonequilibrium pattern formation in chiral Langmuir monolayers with transmembrane flows
Tatsuo Shibata, Alexander S. Mikhailov
Nonequilibrium Langmuir monolayers including a fraction of chiral molecules and subject to transmembrane flow are considered. The flow induces coherent collective precession of chi…
