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…
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…
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…
The self-tuned sensitivity of circadian clocks
Kabir Husain, Weerapat Pittayakanchit, Gopal Pattanayak +2
Living organisms need to be sensitive to a changing environment while also ignoring uninformative environmental fluctuations. Here, we show that the circadian clock in \textit{Syne…
Continuous attractor-based clocks are unreliable phase estimators
Weerapat Pittayakanchit, Zhiyue Lu, Justin Chew +2
Statistical estimation theory determines the optimal way of estimating parameters of a fluctuating noisy signal. However, if the estimation is performed on unreliable hardware, a s…
