Roadmap for Condensates in Cell Biology
Dilimulati Aierken, Sebastian Aland, Stefano Bo +38
Biomolecular condensates govern essential cellular processes yet elude description by traditional equilibrium models. This roadmap, distilled from structured discussions at a works…
A numerical approach for the dynamics of active viscoelastic surfaces
Francine Kolley-Köchel, Jan Magnus Sischka, Axel Voigt +2
The dynamics of active viscoelastic surfaces plays an important role in biological systems. One prominent example is the actin cortex, a thin bio-polymer sheet underneath the outer…
Modes of Mechanical Guidance of Adhesion-Independent Cell Migration
Hanna Luise Gertack, Peter A. E. Hampshire, Claudia Wohlgemuth +2
Adhesion-independent migration is a prominent mode of cell motility in confined environments, yet the physical principles that guide such movement remain incompletely understood. W…
Active viscoelastic condensates provide controllable mechanical anchor points
Oliver W. Paulin, Júlia Garcia-Baucells, Luise Zieger +3
Many biological materials must couple mechanical strength with the ability to rapidly self-assemble at a specific location. In particular, biomolecular condensates readily self-ass…
