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…
The Phase Synchronized State of Oriented Active Fluids
Sebastian Fürthauer, Sriram Ramaswamy
We present a theory for self-driven fluids, such as motorized cytoskeletal extracts or bacterial suspensions, that takes into account the underlying periodic duty cycle carried by…
Thin Films of Chiral Motors
Maria Strempel, Sebastian Fürthauer, Stephan W. Grill +1
Hydrodynamic flows in biological systems are often generated by active chiral processes near or on surfaces. Important examples are beating cilia, force generation in actomyosin ne…
