Towards the cellular-scale simulation of motor-driven cytoskeletal assemblies
Wen Yan, Saad Ansari, Adam Lamson +3
The cytoskeleton -- a collection of polymeric filaments, molecular motors, and crosslinkers -- is a foundational example of active matter, and in the cell assembles into organelles…
Chiral self-sorting of active semiflexible filaments with intrinsic curvature
Jeffrey M. Moore, Matthew A. Glaser, Meredith D. Betterton
Many-body interactions in systems of active matter can cause particles to move collectively and self-organize into dynamic structures with long-range order. In cells, the self-asse…
Collective motion of driven semiflexible filaments tuned by soft repulsion and stiffness
Jeffrey M. Moore, Tyler N. Thompson, Matthew A. Glaser +1
In active matter systems, self-propelled particles can self-organize to undergo collective motion, leading to persistent dynamical behavior out of equilibrium. In cells, cytoskelet…
Analytical structure, dynamics, and coarse-graining of a kinetic model of an active fluid
Tong Gao, Meredith D. Betterton, An-Sheng Jhang +1
We analyze one of the simplest active suspensions with complex dynamics: a suspension of immotile "Extensor" particles that exert active extensile dipolar stresses on the fluid in…
Multiscale modeling and simulation of microtubule/motor protein assemblies
Tong Gao, Robert Blackwell, Matthew A. Glaser +2
Microtubules and motor proteins self organize into biologically important assemblies including the mitotic spindle and the centrosomal microtubule array. Outside of cells, microtub…
Hysteresis, reentrance, and glassy dynamics in systems of self-propelled rods
Hui-Shun Kuan, Robert Blackwell, Loren E. Hough +2
Non-equilibrium active matter made up of self-driven particles with short-range repulsive interactions is a useful minimal system to study active matter as the system exhibits coll…
