Dynamics of Cell Shape and Forces on Micropatterned Substrates Predicted by a Cellular Potts Model
Philipp J. Albert, Ulrich S. Schwarz
Micropatterned substrates are often used to standardize cell experiments and to quantitatively study the relation between cell shape and function. Moreover, they are increasingly u…
Stochastic dynamics and mechanosensitivity of myosin II minifilaments
Philipp J. Albert, Thorsten Erdmann, Ulrich S. Schwarz
Tissue cells are in a state of permanent mechanical tension that is maintained mainly by myosin II minifilaments, which are bipolar assemblies of tens of myosin II molecular motors…
Stochastic dynamics of small ensembles of non-processive molecular motors: the parallel cluster model
Thorsten Erdmann, Philipp J. Albert, Ulrich S. Schwarz
Non-processive molecular motors have to work together in ensembles in order to generate appreciable levels of force or movement. In skeletal muscle, for example, hundreds of myosin…
