Determining physical properties of the cell cortex
A. Saha, M. Nishikawa, M. Behrndt +3
Actin and myosin assemble into a thin layer of a highly dynamic network underneath the membrane of eukaryotic cells. This network generates the forces that drive cell and tissue-sc…
Relevance of intracellular polarity to accuracy of eukaryotic chemotaxis
Tetsuya Hiraiwa, Akihiro Nagamatsu, Naohiro Akuzawa +2
Chemotactic cells establish cell polarity in the absence of external guidance cues. Such self-organized polarity is induced by spontaneous symmetry breaking in the intracellular ac…
Fluctuation analysis of mechanochemical coupling depending on the type of bio-molecular motor
Masatoshi Nishikawa, Hiroaki Takagi, Atsuko H. Iwane +1
Mechanochemical coupling was studied for two different types of myosin motors in cells: myosin V, which carries cargo over long distances by as a single molecule; and myosin II, wh…
