The sound of an axon's growth
Frederic Folz, Lukas Wettmann, Giovanna Morigi +1
Axons are linear processes of nerve cells that can range from a few tens of micrometers up to meters in length. In addition to external cues, the length of an axon is also regulate…
Positional information readout in signaling
Vaibhav H. Wasnik, Peter Lipp, Karsten Kruse
Living cells respond to spatial signals. Signal transmission to the cell interior often involves the release of second messengers like . They will eventually trigger a ph…
Response to Halatek and Frey: Effective two-dimensional model does account for geometry sensing by self-organized proteins patterns
Mike Bonny, Jakob Schweizer, Martin Loose +3
The Min proteins from Escherichia coli can self-organize into traveling waves on supported lipid bilayers. In Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 109, 15283 (2012) we showed that these wave…
Bistable protein distributions in rod-shaped bacteria
L. Wettmann, M. Bonny, K. Kruse
The distributions of many proteins in rod-shaped bacteria are far from homogenous. Often they accumulate at the cell poles or in the cell center. At the same time, the copy number…
Intra- and intercellular fluctuations in Min-protein dynamics decrease with cell length
Elisabeth Fischer-Friedrich, Giovanni Meacci, Joe Lutkenhaus +2
Self-organization of proteins in space and time is of crucial importance for the functioning of cellular processes. Often, this organization takes place in the presence of strong r…
Continuum Description of the Cytoskeleton: Ring Formation in the Cell Cortex
Alexander Zumdieck, Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino, Catalin Tanase +4
Motivated by the formation of ring-like filament structures in the cortex of plant and animal cells, we study the dynamics of a two-dimensional layer of cytoskeletal filaments and…
