Active biopolymer networks generate scale-free but euclidean clusters
M. Sheinman, A. Sharma, J. Alvarado +2
We report analytical and numerical modelling of active elastic networks, motivated by experiments on crosslinked actin networks contracted by myosin motors. Within a broad range of…

Molecular motors robustly drive active gels to a critically connected state
Jose Alvarado, Michael Sheinman, Abhinav Sharma +2
Living systems often exhibit internal driving: active, molecular processes drive nonequilibrium phenomena such as metabolism or migration. Active gels constitute a fascinating clas…
