Model-free estimation in scattering analysis of microscopy
Tong Lin, Jinseok Lee, Matt Helgeson +3
The mean squared displacement (MSD) of particles or probes is commonly estimated from microscopy videos using particle tracking approaches, which rely on tuning parameters manually…
Hacktive Matter: data-driven discovery through hackathon-based cross-disciplinary coding
Megan T. Valentine, Rae M. Robertson-Anderson
The past decade has seen unprecedented growth in active matter and autonomous biomaterials research, yielding diverse classes of materials that promise revolutionary applications s…
BARCODE: Biomaterial Activity Readouts to Categorize, Optimize, Design and Engineer for high throughput screening and characterization of dynamically restructuring soft materials
Qiaopeng Chen, Aditya Sriram, Ayan Das +8
Active, responsive, nonequilibrium materials, at the forefront of materials engineering, offer dynamical restructuring, mobility and other complex life-like properties. Yet, this e…
Active and passive crosslinking of cytoskeleton scaffolds tune the effects of cell inclusions on composite structure
Katarina Matic, Nimisha Krishnan, Eric Frank +7
Incorporating cells within active biomaterial scaffolds is a promising strategy to develop forefront materials that can autonomously sense, respond, and alter the scaffold in respo…
Kinesin-driven de-mixing of cytoskeleton composites drives emergent mechanical properties
Janet Sheung, Christopher Gunter, Katarina Matic +5
The cytoskeleton is an active composite of filamentous proteins that dictates diverse mechanical properties and processes in eukaryotic cells by generating forces and autonomously…
