Active Disassembly and Reassembly of Actin Networks Induces Distinct Biphasic Mechanics
Bekele J. Gurmessa, Nicholas Bitten, Dan T. Nguyen +4
Actin is a key component of the cytoskeleton, which plays central roles in cell motility, division, growth, and tensile strength. To enable this wide range of transient mechanical…
Interplay of Structure, Elasticity and Dynamics in Actin-Based Nematic Materials
Rui Zhang, Nitin Kumar, Jennifer Ross +2
Achieving control and tunability of lyotropic materials has been a long-standing goal of liquid crystal research. Here we show that the elasticity of a liquid crystal system consis…
Contractility in an Extensile System
Kasimira T. Stanhope, Vikrant Yadav, Christian D. Santangelo +1
Essentially all biology is active and dynamic. Biological entities autonomously sense, com- pute, and respond using energy-coupled ratchets that can produce force and do work. The…
