Journal ArticleDOI

Elastic Behavior of Cross-Linked and Bundled Actin Networks

TL;DR: It is shown that networks of cross-linked and bundled actin filaments exhibit exceptional elastic behavior that reflects the mechanical properties of individual filaments, and parameterize the full range of behavior in a state diagram and elucidate its origin with a robust model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Giant dielectric constant response in a copper-titanate

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a material, cubic CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12, which exhibits a large dielectric response, the temperature-dependence of which has not been seen, to our knowledge, in any existing material.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical Integration of Actin and Adhesion Dynamics in Cell Migration

TL;DR: Current knowledge of the dynamic organization of the F-actin cytoskeleton in cell migration and the regulation of focal adhesion assembly and disassembly is reviewed with an emphasis on how mechanical and biochemical signaling between these two systems regulate the coordination of physical processes in cell Migration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anomalous diffusion probes microstructure dynamics of entangled F-actin networks

TL;DR: Anomalous subdiffusion in colloidal tracer particles in entangled actin filament (F-actin) networks is determined to be due to the dynamics of infrequent and large jumps particles make between distinct pores in the network.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Resolution Traction Force Microscopy Based on Experimental and Computational Advances

TL;DR: Experimental and computational advances in improving the resolution and reliability of traction force microscopy are reported and fibroblast traction is reconstructed for the first time with a spatial resolution of approximately 1 microm.
