Mechanics of collective unfolding
M Caruel, J. -M Allain, L Truskinovsky
Mechanically induced unfolding of passive crosslinkers is a fundamental biological phenomenon encountered across the scales from individual macro-molecules to cytoskeletal actin ne…
Muscle as a meta-material operating near a critical point
Matthieu Caruel, Jean-Marc Allain, Lev Truskinovsky
Passive mechanical response of skeletal muscles at fast time scales is dominated by long range interactions inducing cooperative behavior without breaking the detailed balance. Thi…
Budding and Fission of a multiphase vesicle
Jean-Marc Allain, Martine Ben Amar
We present a model of bi-phasic vesicle in the limit of large surface tension. In this regime, the vesicle is completely stretched and well described by two spherical caps with a f…
Fission of a multiphase membrane tube
Jean-Marc Allain, Cornelis Storm, Aurelien Roux +2
A common mechanism for intracellular transport is the use of controlled deformations of the membrane to create spherical or tubular buds. While the basic physical properties of hom…
