Reentrant Rigidity Percolation in Structurally Correlated Filamentous Networks
Jonathan Michel, Gabriel von Kessel, Thomas Wyse Jackson +3
Many biological tissues feature a heterogeneous network of fibers whose tensile and bending rigidity contribute substantially to these tissues' elastic properties. Rigidity percola…
Motor antagonism dictates emergent dynamics in active double networks tuned by crosslinkers
Ryan J. McGorty, Christopher J. Currie, Jonathan Michel +8
The cytoskeleton relies on diverse populations of motors, filaments, and binding proteins acting in concert to enable non-equilibrium processes ranging from mitosis to chemotaxis.…
Structural Origins of Cartilage Shear Mechanics
Thomas Wyse Jackson, Jonathan Michel, Pancy Lwin +4
Healthy cartilage is a remarkable tissue, able to withstand tens of millions of loading cycles with minimal damage. While much is known about the structural origins of its compress…
Active Cytoskeletal Composites Display Emergent Tunable Contractility and Restructuring
Gloria Lee, Gregor Leech, Pancy Lwin +7
The cytoskeleton is a model active matter system that controls diverse cellular processes from division to motility. While both active actomyosin dynamics and actin-microtubule int…
Structural disorder on small scales softens hierarchical structures
Jonathan Michel, Peter J. Yunker
Hierarchically structured materials, which possess distinct features on different length scales, are ubiquitous in nature and engineering. In many cases, one structural level may b…
Structural hierarchy confers error tolerance in biological tissues
Jonathan Michel, Peter Yunker
Structural hierarchy, in which materials possess distinct features on multiple length scales, is ubiquitous in nature; diverse biological materials, such as bone, cellulose, and mu…
