Effects of Cytoskeletal Network Mesh Size on Cargo Transport
Nimisha Krishnan, Niranjan Sarpangala, Maria Gamez +2
Intracellular transport of cargoes in the cell is essential for the organization and functioning cells, especially those that are large and elongated. The cytoskeletal networks ins…
Timed material self-assembly controlled by circadian clock proteins
Gregor Leech, Lauren Melcher, Michelle Chiu +10
Active biological molecules present a powerful, yet largely untapped, opportunity to impart autonomous regulation to materials. Because these systems can function robustly to regul…
Motor antagonism dictates emergent dynamics in active double networks tuned by crosslinkers
Ryan J. McGorty, Christopher J. Currie, Jonathan Michel +8
The cytoskeleton relies on diverse populations of motors, filaments, and binding proteins acting in concert to enable non-equilibrium processes ranging from mitosis to chemotaxis.…
Sustained Order-Disorder Transitions in a Model Colloidal System Driven by Rhythmic Crosslinking
Lauren Melcher, Elisabeth Rennert, Jennifer Ross +3
Biological systems have the unique ability to self-organize and generate autonomous motion and work. Motivated by this, we investigate a 2D model colloidal network that can repeate…
Non-equilibrium fluctuations and nonlinear response of an active bath
Hunter Seyforth, Mauricio Gomez, W. Benjamin Rogers +2
We analyze the dynamics of a passive colloidal probe immersed in an active bath using an optical trap to study three physical processes: (1) the non-equilibrium fluctuations transf…
Active restructuring of cytoskeleton composites leads to increased mechanical stiffness, memory, and heterogeneity
Janet Y. Sheung, Daisy H. Achiriloaie, Karthik Peddireddy +5
The composite cytoskeleton, comprising interacting networks of semiflexible actin and rigid microtubules, actively generates forces and restructures using motor proteins such as my…
