Elucidating the Role of Filament Turnover in Cortical Flow using Simulations and Representation Learning
Yuqing Qiu, Elizabeth D. White, Edwin M. Munro +2
Cell polarization relies on long-range cortical flows, which are driven by active stresses and resisted by the cytoskeletal network. While the general mechanisms that contribute to…
Filament turnover is essential for continuous long range contractile flow in a model actomyosin cortex
William M. McFadden, Patrick M. McCall, Edwin M. Munro
In this paper, we develop and analyze a minimal model for a 2D network of cross-linked actin filaments and myosin motors, representing the cortical cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells…
Force generation by Myosin II Filaments in Compliant Networks
Samantha Stam, Jon Alberts, Margaret L. Gardel +1
Myosin II isoforms with varying mechanochemistry and filament size interact with filamentous actin (F-actin) networks to generate contractile forces in cells. How their properties…
