From Flow to Form: Emergence of the Cytokinetic Ring via Active Cortical Dynamics
Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Anirban Sain
During cell division active flows occur in the cortex, a thin layer of gel like network of acto myosin filaments, beneath the cell surface. The cortical flow and the associated str…

Active chain spirograph: Dynamic patterns formed in extensible chains due to follower activity
Sattwik Sadhu, Nitin Kriplani, Anirban Sain +1
Follower activity results in a large variety of conformational and dynamical states in active chains and filaments. These states are formed due to the coupling between chain geomet…

Actin driven morphogenesis in hydra
Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Anirban Sain
Hydra, a centimeter long cylindrical-shaped freshwater organism, has emerged as an interesting model system for studying morphogenesis in animals. Recently, fluorescent imaging of…
