Topology and Dynamics of Active Nematic Vesicles
Felix C. Keber, Etienne Loiseau, Tim Sanchez +6
Engineering synthetic materials that mimic the remarkable complexity of living organisms is a fundamental challenge in science and technology. We study the spatiotemporal patterns…
Nucleation-induced transition to collective motion in active systems
Christoph. A. Weber, Volker Schaller, Andreas R. Bausch +1
While the existence of polar ordered states in active systems is well established, the dynamics of the self-assembly processes are still elusive. We study a lattice gas model of se…
Transient Binding and Dissipation in Semi-flexible Polymer Networks
O. Lieleg, M. M. A. E. Claessens, Y. Luan +1
While polymer solutions lack the mechanical stability only transiently cross-linked networks can fulfill the competing requirements of structural stability and maximal energy dissi…
Micro- and Macrorheological Properties of Isotropically Cross-linked Actin Networks
Yuxia Luan, Oliver Lieleg, Bernd Wagner +1
Cells make use of semi-flexible biopolymers such as actin or intermediate filaments to control their local viscoelastic response by dynamically adjusting the concentration and type…
Cross-linker unbinding and self-similarity in bundled cytoskeletal networks
Oliver Lieleg, Andreas R. Bausch
The macromechanical properties of purely bundled in vitro actin networks are not only determined by the micromechanical properties of individual bundles but also by molecular unbin…
Mechanics of bundled semiflexible polymer networks
O. Lieleg, M. M. A. E. Claessens, C. Heussinger +2
While actin bundles are used by living cells for structural fortification, the microscopic origin of the elasticity of bundled networks is not understood. Here, we show that above…
