Active and passive crosslinking of cytoskeleton scaffolds tune the effects of cell inclusions on composite structure
Katarina Matic, Nimisha Krishnan, Eric Frank +7
Incorporating cells within active biomaterial scaffolds is a promising strategy to develop forefront materials that can autonomously sense, respond, and alter the scaffold in respo…
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.…
Crowding induces entropically-driven changes to DNA dynamics that depend on crowder structure and ionic conditions
Warren M. Mardoum, Stephanie M. Gorczyca, Kathryn E. Regan +2
Macromolecular crowding plays a principal role in a wide range of biological processes including gene expression, chromosomal compaction, and viral infection. However, the impact t…
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…
