The Interplay of Nonlinearity and Architecture in Equilibrium Cytoskeletal Mechanics
Shenshen Wang, Tongye Shen, Peter G. Wolynes
The interplay between cytoskeletal architecture and the nonlinearity of the interactions due to bucklable filaments plays a key role in modulating the cell's mechanical stability a…

On the spontaneous collective motion of active matter
Shenshen Wang, Peter G. Wolynes
Spontaneous directed motion, a hallmark of cell biology, is unusual in classical statistical physics. Here we study, using both numerical and analytical methods, organized motion i…

Effective temperature and glassy dynamics of active matter
Shenshen Wang, Peter G. Wolynes
A systematic expansion of the many-body master equation for active matter, in which motors power configurational changes as in the cytoskeleton, is shown to yield a description of…
