Twofold mechanosensitivity ensures actin cortex reinforcement upon peaks in mechanical tension
Valentin Ruffine, Andreas Hartmann, Michael Schlierf +1
The actin cortex is an active biopolymer network underneath the plasma membrane at the periphery of mammalian cells. It is a major regulator of cell shape through the generation of…

Pulsatory patterns in active viscoelastic fluids with distinct relaxation time scales
Eloy Merlijn de Kinkelder, Elisabeth Fischer-Friedrich, Sebastian Aland
Developing tissues need to pattern themselves in space and time. A prevalent mechanism to achieve this are pulsatile active stresses generated by the actin cytoskeleton. Active gel…
