Dynamic nuclear structure emerges from chromatin crosslinks and motors
Kuang Liu, Alison E. Patteson, Edward J. Banigan +1
The cell nucleus houses the chromosomes, which are linked to a soft shell of lamin filaments. Experiments indicate that correlated chromosome dynamics and nuclear shape fluctuation…
Chase-and-run dynamics in cell motility and the molecular rupture of interacting active elastic dimers
David Mayett, Nicholas Bitten, Moumita Das +1
Cell migration in morphogenesis and cancer metastasis typically involves interplay between different cell types. We construct and study a minimal, one-dimensional model comprised o…
Rigid cluster decomposition reveals criticality in frictional jamming
Silke Henkes, David A. Quint, Y. Fily +1
We study the nature of the frictional jamming transition within the framework of rigidity percolation theory. Slowly sheared frictional packings are decomposed into rigid clusters…
Shape-shifting droplet networks
T. Zhang, Duanduan Wan, J. M. Schwarz +1
We consider a three-dimensional network of aqueous droplets joined by single lipid bilayers to form a cohesive, tissue-like material. The droplets in these networks can be programm…
The mechanics of anisotropic spring networks
T. Zhang, J. M. Schwarz, Moumita Das
We construct and analyze a model for a disordered linear spring network with anisotropy. The modeling is motivated by, for example, granular systems, nematic elastomers, and ultima…
Active elastic dimers: Cells moving on rigid tracks
J. H. Lopez, Moumita Das, J. M. Schwarz
Experiments suggest that the migration of some cells in the three-dimensional extra cellular matrix bears strong resemblance to one-dimensional cell migration. Motivated by this ob…
Contact processes in crowded environments
S. -L. -Y. Xu, J. M. Schwarz
Periodically sheared colloids at low densities demonstrate a dynamical phase transition from an inactive to active phase as the strain amplitude is increased. The inactive phase co…
Level statistics for quantum -core percolation
L. Cao, J. M. Schwarz
Quantum -core percolation is the study of quantum transport on -core percolation clusters where each occupied bond must have at least occupied neighboring bonds. As the b…
Modeling the formation of in vitro filopodia
K. -C. Lee, A. Gopinathan, J. M. Schwarz
Filopodia are bundles of actin filaments that extend out ahead of the leading edge of a crawling cell to probe its upcoming environment. {\it In vitro} experiments [D. Vignjevic {\…
Vacancy diffusion in the triangular lattice dimer model
Monwhea Jeng, Mark J. Bowick, Werner Krauth +2
We study vacancy diffusion on the classical triangular lattice dimer model, sub ject to the kinetic constraint that dimers can only translate, but not rotate. A single vacancy, i.e…
One-Way Hysteresis in the Depinning Transition
Ron Maimon, J. M. Schwarz
We identify a mechanism for a type of hysteresis which we predict to occur in a variety of depinning transitions. We show that the phenomenon of one-way hysteresis is generic to st…
