Spontaneous polarization in an interfacial growth model for actin filament networks with a rigorous mechano-chemical coupling
Karin John, Denis Caillerie, Chaouqi Misbah
Many processes in eukaryotic cells, including cell motility, rely on the growth of branched actin networks from surfaces. Despite its central role the mechano-chemical coupling mec…

A constitutive law for cross-linked actin networks by homogenization techniques
Denis Caillerie, Karin John, Chaouqi Misbah +2
Inspired by experiments on the actin driven propulsion of micrometer sized beads we develop and study a minimal mechanical model of a two-dimensional network of stiff elastic filam…

Actin based propulsion: Intriguing interplay between material properties and growth processes
Karin John, Denis Caillerie, Philippe Peyla +3
Eukaryotic cells and intracellular pathogens such as bacteria or viruses utilize the actin polymerization machinery to propel themselves forward. Thereby, the onset of motion and c…
