Pathway variability, coat stiffening and mechanical adaptation during clathrin-mediated endocytosis
Johannes H. H. Dreckhoff, Ulrich S. Schwarz, Leon Lettermann
Clathrin assemblies in cells can persist as flat plaques, abort after partial invagination, or close into clathrin-coated vesicles, but the determinants of these different fates re…
Active gel theory for cell migration with two myosin isoforms
Nils O. Winkler, Oliver M. Drozdowski, Falko Ziebert +1
Myosin II molecular motors slide actin filaments relatively to each other and are essential for force generation, motility and mechanosensing in animal cells. For non-muscle cells,…
Three-dimensional chiral active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model for helical motion of microorganisms
Leon Lettermann, Falko Ziebert, Mirko Singer +2
Active movement is essential for the survival of microorganisms like bacteria, algae and unicellular parasites. In three dimensions, both swimming and gliding microorganisms often…
Cell bulging and extrusion in a three-dimensional bubbly vertex model for curved epithelial sheets
Oliver M. Drozdowski, Büşra Kocameşe, Kim E. Boonekamp +2
Cell extrusion is an essential mechanism for controlling cell density in epithelial tissues. Another essential element of epithelia is curvature, which is required to achieve compl…
