Localization of Active Particles on Random Arrays of Parallel Filaments
Owen Santoso, Elena Koslover
Quenched disorder in the environment can fundamentally alter transport dynamics in both active and passive systems. We explore how disordered arrays of filaments govern the distrib…
Diffusive Spreading Across Dynamic Mitochondrial Network Architectures
Keaton B. Holt, Camryn Zurita, Lizzy Teryoshin +2
In eukaryotic cells, mitochondria form networks that range from highly fused interconnected structures to fragmented populations of individual organelles that undergo transient int…
Encounter Times of Intermittently Running Particles
Lizzy Teryoshin, Mario Hidalgo-Soria, Elena F. Koslover
Intracellular processes often rely on the timely encounter of mobile reaction partners, including intermittently motor-driven organelles. The underlying cytoskeletal network presen…
Many Will Enter, Few Will Win: Cost and Sensitivity of Exploratory Dynamics
Elena F Koslover, Milo M Lin, Rob Phillips
A variety of biomolecular systems rely on exploratory dynamics to reach target locations or states within a cell. Without a mechanism to remotely sense and move directly towards a…
Clustering and spatial distribution of mitochondria in dendritic trees
Mario Hidalgo-Soria, Elena F. Koslover
Neuronal dendrites form densely branched tree architectures through which mitochondria must be distributed to supply the cell's energetic needs. Dendritic mitochondria circulate th…
