Experimental methods to control pinned and coupled actomyosin contraction events
James Clarke, Hyunjae Lee, Kyla Wong +4
Actin and myosin drive many instances of force generation, deformation, and shape change in cells, tissues, and organisms. In particular, cytoskeletal actomyosin is remarkable in i…

Nonlinear contractile response of actomyosin active gels to control signals
James Clarke, Francis Cavanna, Aniket Marne +2
Biological systems tightly regulate their physiological state using control signals. This includes the actomyosin cytoskeleton, a contractile active gel that consumes chemical free…
