Shear-induced gelation of self-yielding active networks
David A. Gagnon, Claudia Dessi, John P. Berezney +4
Molecular-motor generated active stresses drive the cytoskeleton away from equilibrium, endowing it with tunable mechanical properties that are essential for diverse functions such…

Microtubule-based active fluids with improved lifetime, temporal stability and miscibility with passive soft materials
Pooja Chandrakar, John Berezney, Bezia Lemma +8
We have developed several distinct model systems of microtubule-based 3D active isotropic fluids and have compared their dynamical and structural properties. The non-equilibrium dy…
