Understanding cytoskeletal avalanches using mechanical stability analysis
Carlos Floyd, Herbert Levine, Christopher Jarzynski +1
Eukaryotic cells are mechanically supported by a polymer network called the cytoskeleton, which consumes chemical energy to dynamically remodel its structure. Recent experiments in…
Minimal Cylinder Analysis Reveals the Mechanical Properties of Oncogenic Nucleosomes
Mary Pitman, Yamini Dalal, Garegin A. Papoian
Histone variants regulate replication, transcription, DNA damage repair, and chromosome segregation. Though widely accepted as a paradigm, it has not been rigorously demonstrated t…
Quantifying Dissipation in Actomyosin Networks
Carlos Floyd, Garegin A. Papoian, Christopher Jarzynski
Quantifying entropy production in various active matter phases will open new avenues for probing self-organization principles in these far-from-equilibrium systems. It has been hyp…
Stochastic Ratcheting on a Funneled Energy Landscape is Necessary for Highly Efficient Contractility of Actomyosin Force Dipoles
James E. Komianos, Garegin A. Papoian
Current understanding of how contractility emerges in disordered actomyosin networks of non-muscle cells is still largely based on the intuition derived from earlier works on muscl…
