Microscopic origin of macroscopic contractility in actin-myosin active gel models
Artur Alexandre, Nicola Dietler, Simone Cicolini +3
Actin filaments, crosslinkers and myosin molecular motors form contractile networks. For instance, the cell cortex is a thin network below the cell membrane ; contraction of the ce…

Power-law decay of force on cell membrane tethers reflects long-ranged relaxation of membrane tension
Emeline Laborie, Andrew Callan-Jones
Membrane tension is an acknowledged regulator of a wide array of cell functions; however, whether it acts locally or globally in different contexts remains debated. Recent experime…

Viscous Fingering-like Instability of Cell Fragments
A. C. Callan-Jones, J. -F. Joanny, J. Prost
We present a novel flow instability that can arise in thin films of cytoskeletal fluids if the friction with the substrate on which the film lies is sufficiently strong. We conside…
