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…
Active Cytoskeletal Composites Display Emergent Tunable Contractility and Restructuring
Gloria Lee, Gregor Leech, Pancy Lwin +7
The cytoskeleton is a model active matter system that controls diverse cellular processes from division to motility. While both active actomyosin dynamics and actin-microtubule int…
