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…

Pulsatory patterns in active viscoelastic fluids with distinct relaxation time scales

Eloy Merlijn de Kinkelder, Elisabeth Fischer-Friedrich, Sebastian Aland

Developing tissues need to pattern themselves in space and time. A prevalent mechanism to achieve this are pulsatile active stresses generated by the actin cytoskeleton. Active gel…

Chiral flows can induce neck formation in viscoelastic surfaces

Eloy Merlijn de Kinkelder, Elisabeth Fischer-Friedrich, Sebastian Aland

During division in animal cells, the actomyosin cortex has been found to exhibit counter-rotating cortical flows, also known as chiral flows, along the axis of division. Furthermor…
