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…
Microtubules Interacting with a Boundary: Mean Length and Mean First-Passage Times
Bela M. Mulder
We formulate a dynamical model for microtubules interacting with a catastrophe-inducing boundary. In this model microtubules are either waiting to be nucleated, actively growing or…
Microtubule length distributions in the presence of protein-induced severing
Simon H. Tindemans, Bela M. Mulder
Microtubules are highly regulated dynamic elements of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. One of the regulation mechanisms observed in living cells is the severing by the protein…
Survival of the aligned: ordering of the plant cortical microtubule array
Simon H. Tindemans, Rhoda J. Hawkins, Bela M. Mulder
The cortical array is a structure consisting of highly aligned microtubules which plays a crucial role in the characteristic uniaxial expansion of all growing plant cells. Recent e…
Continuum Description of the Cytoskeleton: Ring Formation in the Cell Cortex
Alexander Zumdieck, Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino, Catalin Tanase +4
Motivated by the formation of ring-like filament structures in the cortex of plant and animal cells, we study the dynamics of a two-dimensional layer of cytoskeletal filaments and…
