Cell spheroid viscoelasticity is deformation-dependent
Ruben C. Boot, Anouk van der Net, Christos Gogou +4
Tissue surface tension influences cell sorting and tissue fusion. Earlier mechanical studies suggest that multicellular spheroids actively reinforce their surface tension with appl…
How cytoskeletal crosstalk makes cells move: bridging cell-free and cell studies
James P. Conboy, Irene Istúriz Petitjean, Anouk van der Net +1
Cell migration is a fundamental process for life and is highly dependent on the dynamical and mechanical properties of the cytoskeleton. Intensive physical and biochemical crosstal…
Effects of local incompressibility on the rheology of composite biopolymer networks
Anupama Gannavarapu, Sadjad Arzash, Iain Muntz +4
Fibrous networks such as collagen are common in biological systems. Recent theoretical and experimental efforts have shed light on the mechanics of single component networks. Most…
Actomyosin-driven division of a synthetic cell
Lucia Baldauf, Lennard van Buren, Federico Fanalista +1
One of the major challenges of bottom-up synthetic biology is rebuilding a minimal division machinery. The animal cell division apparatus is mechanically the simplest, in which an…
Programming filamentous network mechanics by compression
Bart E. Vos, Luka C. Liebrand, Mahsa Vahabi +6
Fibrous networks are ideal functional materials since they provide mechanical rigidity at low weight. Such structures are omnipresent in natural biomaterials from cells to tissues,…
Purification of recombinant human and Drosophila septin hexamers for TIRF assays of actin-septin filament assembly
Manos Mavrakis, Tsai Feng-Ching, Gijsje H. Koenderink
Septins are guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that are conserved from fungi to humans. Septins assemble into heterooligomeric complexes and higher-order structures with key roles…
