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…
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…
