Persistence length of short homopolymeric single-stranded DNA sequences in polyvalent cations

Balaka Mondal, D. Thirumalai

We used simulations of short single stranded DNA (ssDNA) homopolymers, based on the sequence dependent Three Interaction Site (TIS) model, to calculate the persistence length ($l_p…

Rotational migration in human pancreatic ductal organoids depends on actin and myosin activity

Gengqiang Xie, Chaity Modak, Olalekan H Usman +7

Rotational migration is one specific form of collective cell migration when epithelial cells are confined in a spherical geometry, such as in the epithelial acini. This tissue-leve…

Droplet growth, Ostwald's rule, and emergence of order in Fused in Sarcoma

Farkhad Maksudov, Mauro L. Mugnai, Laura Dominguez +2

The low complexity domain of Fused in Sarcoma (FUS-LC consisting of 214 residues) undergoes phase separation, resulting in a dense liquid-like phase that forms early and slowly mat…

Sequence Complexity and Monomer Rigidity Control the Morphologies and Aging Dynamics of Protein Aggregates

Ryota Takaki, Dave Thirumalai

Protein aggregates exhibit diverse morphology, exemplified by amyloid fibrils, gel-like structures, and liquid-like condensates. Differences in the morphologies in identical protei…

Spatially Heterogeneous Dynamics of Cells in a Growing Tumor Spheroid: Comparison Between Theory and Experiments

Sumit Sinha, Abdul N Malmi-Kakkada, Xin Li +2

Collective cell movement, characterized by multiple cells that are in contact for substantial periods of time and undergo correlated motion, plays a central role in cancer and embr…
