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…
