Microtubule organization and cell geometry

Panayiotis Foteinopoulos, Bela M. Mulder

We present a systematic study of the influence of cell geometry on the orientational distribution of microtubules (MTs) nucleated from a single microtubule organizing center (MTOC)…

Geometry of the order-disorder surface of the mean-field square lattice Ising model with up to third-neighbor interactions

Rodolfo Subert, Bela M. Mulder

We revisit the field-free Ising model on a square lattice with up to third-neighbour (nnnn) interactions, also known as the ---- model, in the mean-field appro…

Microtubule-based actin transport and localization in a spherical cell

Marco Saltini, Bela M. Mulder

The interaction between actin filaments and microtubules is crucial for many eukaryotic cellular processes, such as, among others, cell polarization, cell motility and cellular wou…

Impact of crowders on the morphology of bacterial chromosomes

Amit Kumar, Pinaki Swain, Bela M. Mulder +1

Inspired by recent experiments on the effects of cytosolic crowders on the organization of bacterial chromosomes, we consider a "feather-boa" type model chromosome in the presence…

Poroelasticity of (bio)polymer networks during compression: theory and experiment

Melle T. J. J. M. Punter, Bart E. Vos, Bela M. Mulder +1

Soft living tissues like cartilage can be considered as biphasic materials comprised of a fibrous complex biopolymer network and a viscous background liquid. Here, we show by a com…

Critical threshold for microtubule amplification through templated severing

Marco Saltini, Bela M. Mulder

The cortical microtubule array of dark-grown hypocotyl cells of plant seedlings undergoes a striking, and developmentally significant, reorientation upon exposure to light. This pr…
