A multiscale biophysical model gives quantized metachronal waves in a lattice of cilia
Brato Chakrabarti, Sebastian Fürthauer, Michael J. Shelley
Motile cilia are slender, hair-like cellular appendages that spontaneously oscillate under the action of internal molecular motors and are typically found in dense arrays. These ac…
How crosslink numbers shape the large-scale physics of cytoskeletal materials
Sebastian Fürthauer, Michael J. Shelley
Cytoskeletal networks are the main actuators of cellular mechanics, and a foundational example for active matter physics. In cytoskeletal networks, motion is generated on small sca…
Actively crosslinked microtubule networks: mechanics, dynamics and filament sliding
Sebastian Fürthauer, Bezia Lemma, Peter J. Foster +5
Cytoskeletal networks are foundational examples of active matter and central to self-organized structures in the cell. In vivo, these networks are active and heavily crosslinked. R…
Measuring and modeling polymer gradients argues that spindle microtubules regulate their own nucleation
Bryan Kaye, Olivia Stiehl, Peter J. Foster +3
Spindles are self-organized microtubule-based structures that segregate chromosomes during cell division. The mass of the spindle is controlled by the balance between microtubule t…
