Cooperative dynamics of microtubule ensembles: Polymerization forces and rescue-induced oscillations
Björn Zelinski, Jan Kierfeld
We investigate the cooperative dynamics of an ensemble of N microtubules growing against an elastic barrier. Microtubules undergo so-called catastrophes, which are abrupt stochasti…

Dynamics and length distribution of microtubules under force and confinement
Björn Zelinski, Nina Müller, Jan Kierfeld
We investigate the microtubule polymerization dynamics with catastrophe and rescue events for three different confinement scenarios, which mimic typical cellular environments: (i)…
