Actin cross-linking organizes basal body patterning through anomalous diffusion transitions

Raghavan Thiagarajan, Younes Farhangi Barooji, Poul-Martin Bendix +2

Subcellular protein complexes and organelles exhibit diverse dynamic behaviors that reflect the mechanical constraints and organization of the intracellular environment. Although s…

Identifying non-equilibrium fluctuations in Intracellular Motion Using Recurrent Neural Networks

Tomas Basile, Natascha Leijnse, Malte Slot Lauridsen +3

Distinguishing active from passive dynamics is a fundamental challenge in understanding the motion of living cells and other active matter systems. Here, we introduce a framework t…

Differential elasticity in lineage segregation of embryonic stem cells

Christine M. Ritter, Natascha Leijnse, Younes Farhangi Barooji +3

The question of what guides lineage segregation is central to development, where cellular differentiation leads to segregated cell populations destined for specialized functions. H…

Filopodia rotate and coil by actively generating twist in their actin shaft

Natascha Leijnse, Younes Farhangi Barooji, Mohammad Reza Arastoo +9

Filopodia are actin-rich structures, present on the surface of practically every known eukaryotic cell. These structures play a pivotal role in specific cell-cell and cell-matrix i…
