Transient contacts between filaments impart its elasticity to branched actin
Mehdi Bouzid, Cesar Valencia Gallardo, Magdalena Kopec +5
Branched actin networks exert pushing forces in eukaryotic cells, and adapt their stiffness to their environment. The physical basis for their mechanics and adaptability is however…
The deformation of a flexible fiber settling in a quiescent viscous fluid
Benjamin Marchetti, Veronica Raspa, Anke Lindner +4
The equilibrium state of a flexible fiber settling in a viscous fluid is examined using a combination of macroscopic experiments, numerical simulations and scaling arguments. We id…
Transport of flexible fibers in confined micro-channels
Jean Cappello, Mathias Bechert, Camille Duprat +3
When transported in confined geometries rigid fibers show interesting transport dynamics induced by friction with the top and bottom walls. Fiber flexibility causes an additional c…
Rotational dynamics of a soft filament: wrapping transition and propulsive forces
Naïs Coq, Olivia Du Roure, Joel Marthelot +2
We analyze experimentally the shape of a long elastic filament rotating in a viscous liquid. We identify a continuous but sharp transition from a straight to an helical shape, resu…
