A symmetrical method to obtain shear moduli from microrheology
Kengo Nishi, Maria L. Kilfoil, Christoph F. Schmidt +1
Passive microrheology typically deduces shear elastic loss and storage moduli from displacement time series or mean-squared displacement (MSD) of thermally fluctuating probe partic…
Topology determines force distributions in one-dimensional random spring networks
Knut M. Heidemann, Andrew O. Sageman-Furnas, Abhinav Sharma +3
Networks of elastic fibers are ubiquitous in biological systems and often provide mechanical stability to cells and tissues. Fiber reinforced materials are also common in technolog…
Topology counts: force distributions in circular spring networks
Knut M. Heidemann, Andrew O. Sageman-Furnas, Abhinav Sharma +3
Filamentous polymer networks govern the mechanical properties of many biological materials. Force distributions within these networks are typically highly inhomogeneous and, althou…
Nonequilibrium dynamics of probe filaments in actin-myosin networks
Jannes Gladrow, Chase P. Broedersz, Christoph F. Schmidt
Active dynamic processes of cells are largely driven by the cytoskeleton, a complex and adaptable semiflexible polymer network, motorized by mechanoenzymes. Small dimensions, confi…
