Nonlocal actin orientation models select for a unique orientation pattern
Daniel Smith, Jian Liu
Many models have been developed to study the role of branching actin networks in motility. One important component of those models is the distribution of filament orientations rela…

Branching actin network remodeling governs the force-velocity relationship
Daniel B. Smith, Jian Liu
Actin networks, acting as an engine pushing against an external load, are fundamentally important to cell motility. A measure of the effectiveness of an engine is the velocity the…
