Structure and dynamics of motor-driven microtubule bundles
Bezia Lemma, Linnea Lemma, Stephanie C. Ems-McClung +3
Connecting the large-scale emergent behaviors of active materials to the microscopic properties of their constituents is a challenge due to a lack of data on the multiscale dynamic…
Active microphase separation in mixtures of microtubules and tip-accumulating molecular motors
Bezia Lemma, Noah P. Mitchell, Radhika Subramanian +2
Mixtures of microtubules and molecular motors form active materials with diverse dynamical behaviors that vary based on their constituents' molecular properties. We map the non-equ…
Actively crosslinked microtubule networks: mechanics, dynamics and filament sliding
Sebastian Fürthauer, Bezia Lemma, Peter J. Foster +5
Cytoskeletal networks are foundational examples of active matter and central to self-organized structures in the cell. In vivo, these networks are active and heavily crosslinked. R…
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…
