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…

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…
