Actin bundle architecture and mechanics regulate myosin II force generation

This study investigates how actin bundle architecture and mechanics influence myosin II force generation through microscopy and simulations.

Tuning shape and internal structure of protein droplets via biopolymer filaments

This study shows how biopolymer filaments alter the shape and structure of protein droplets by affecting surface tension and viscosity.

Self-organizing motors divide active liquid droplets

This study creates composite assemblies of cross-linked biopolymer filaments and motor proteins to explore self-organization mechanisms in biological systems.

Tuning molecular motor transport through cytoskeletal filament network organization

This study examines how the organization of cytoskeletal filament networks affects myosin II motor transport dynamics, showing predictable changes based on network microstructure.
