Microscopic theory of the glassy dynamics of passive and active network materials
Shenshen Wang, Peter G. Wolynes
Signatures of glassy dynamics have been identified experimentally for a rich variety of materials in which molecular networks provide rigidity. Here we present a theoretical framew…

Tensegrity and Motor-Driven Effective Interactions in a Model Cytoskeleton
Shenshen Wang, Peter G. Wolynes
Actomyosin networks are major structural components of the cell. They provide mechanical integrity and allow dynamic remodeling of eukaryotic cells, self-organizing into the divers…

Active contractility in actomyosin networks
Shenshen Wang, Peter G. Wolynes
Contractile forces are essential for many developmental processes involving cell shape change and tissue deformation. Recent experiments on reconstituted actomyosin networks, the m…
