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…
