RecA-mediated homology search as a nearly optimal signal detection system
Yonatan Savir, Tsvi Tlusty
Homologous recombination facilitates the exchange of genetic material between homologous DNA molecules. This crucial process requires detecting a specific homologous DNA sequence w…
Leaders of neuronal cultures in a quorum percolation model
J. -P. Eckmann, Elisha Moses, Olav Stetter +2
We present a theoretical framework using quorum-percolation for describing the initiation of activity in a neural culture. The cultures are modeled as random graphs, whose nodes ar…
Anomalous Microfluidic Phonons Induced by the Interplay of Hydrodynamic Screening and Incompressibility
Tsevi Beatus, Roy Bar-Ziv, Tsvi Tlusty
We investigate the acoustic normal modes ("phonons") of a 1D microfluidic droplet crystal at the crossover between 2D flow and confined 1D plug flow. The unusual phonon spectra of…
Phonons in a one-dimensional microfluidic crystal
Tsevi Beatus, Tsvi Tlusty, Roy Bar-Ziv
The development of a general theoretical framework for describing the behaviour of a crystal driven far from equilibrium has proved difficult1. Microfluidic crystals, formed by the…
Pearling in cells: A clue to understanding cell shape
Roy Bar-Ziv, Tsvi Tlusty, Elisha Moses +2
Gradual disruption of the actin cytoskeleton induces a series of structural shape changes in cells leading to a transformation of cylindrical cell extensions into a periodic chain…
Molecular Model of the Contractile Ring
D. Biron, E. Alvarez-Lacalle, Tsvi Tlusty +1
We present a model for the actin contractile ring of adherent animal cells. The model suggests that the actin concentration within the ring and consequently the power that the ring…
