Theory of rheology and aging of protein condensates
Ryota Takaki, Louise Jawerth, Marko Popović +1
Biological condensates are assemblies of proteins and nucleic acids that form membraneless compartments in cells and play essential roles in cellular functions. In many cases they…
Salt-dependent rheology and surface tension of protein condensates using optical traps
Louise M. Jawerth, Mahdiye Ijavi, Martine Ruer +5
An increasing number of proteins with intrinsically disordered domains have been shown to phase separate in buffer to form liquid-like phases. These protein condensates serve as si…
Physical limits to biomechanical sensing
Farzan Beroz, Louise M. Jawerth, Stefan Münster +3
Cells actively probe and respond to the stiffness of their surroundings. Since mechanosensory cells in connective tissue are surrounded by a disordered network of biopolymers, thei…
Stress controls the mechanics of collagen networks
Albert James Licup, Stefan Münster, Abhinav Sharma +5
Collagen is the main structural and load-bearing element of various connective tissues, where it forms the extracellular matrix that supports cells. It has long been known that col…
