Structural Anisotropy Stabilises Asymmetric Beating in Instability Driven Filaments
Bethany Clarke, Yongyun Hwang, Eric E Keaveny
Asymmetries and anisotropies are widespread in biological systems, including in the structure and dynamics of cilia and eukaryotic flagella. These microscopic, hair-like appendages…

A Comparison of Instabilities and Dynamic States in Active Filament Models
Ilteber R. Ozdemir, Bethany Clarke, Yongyun Hwang +1
Active filaments, such as microtubules with attached cargo-carrying motor proteins, are important dynamic structures for fluid transport in and around living cells. The mathematica…

Bifurcations and nonlinear dynamics of the follower force model for active filaments
Bethany Clarke, Yongyun Hwang, Eric Keaveny
Biofilament-motor protein complexes are ubiquitous in biology and drive the transport of cargo vital for many fundamental cellular processes. As they move, motor proteins exert com…
