Anisotropic swelling due to hydration constrains anisotropic elasticity in biomaterial fibers
Xander A. Gouws, Ana Mastnak, Laurent Kreplak +1
Naturally occurring protein fibers often undergo anisotropic swelling when hydrated. Within a tendon, a hydrated collagen fibril's radius expands by 40% but its length only increas…
Dynamic compartmentalization of bacteria: accurate division in E. coli
Martin Howard, Andrew D. Rutenberg, Simon de Vet
Positioning of the midcell division plane within the bacterium E. coli is controlled by the min system of proteins: MinC, MinD and MinE. These proteins coherently oscillate from en…
Curved Tails in Polymerization-Based Bacterial Motility
A. D. Rutenberg, M. Grant
The curved actin ``comet-tail'' of the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is a visually striking signature of actin polymerization-based motility. Similar actin tails are associated…
Phase Ordering Kinetics of One-Dimensional Non-Conserved Scalar Systems
A. D. Rutenberg, A. J. Bray
We consider the phase-ordering kinetics of one-dimensional scalar systems. For attractive long-range () interactions with , ``Energy-Scaling'' arguments predict a…
Growth Laws for Phase Ordering
A. J. Bray, A. D. Rutenberg
We determine the characteristic length scale, , in phase ordering kinetics for both scalar and vector fields, with either short- or long-range interactions, and with or witho…
