… In this case, the flexural rigidity E can be expressed as ℓ p k B T, where ℓ p is the persistence
length, and an elegant way to measure E is to extract ℓ p from the analysis of many filament …

… -loaded buckling of a hinged Euler beam is F e = π 2 E/L 2 where E is the bending modulus
of a single … These two forces, F s and F e are in balance for L ∼ 5 μm for E = 10 −23 Nm 2 38. …

The mitotic spindle ensures the faithful segregation of chromosomes. Here we combine the
first large-scale serial electron tomography of whole mitotic spindles in early C. elegans …

We present a novel platform for the large-scale simulation of three-dimensional fibrous structures
immersed in a Stokesian fluid and evolving under confinement or in free-space in three …

Few techniques are available for studying the nature of forces that drive subcellular dynamics.
Here we develop two complementary ones. The first is femtosecond stereotactic laser …

The proper positioning of mitotic spindle in the single-cell Caenorhabditis elegans embryo is
achieved initially by the migration and rotation of the pronuclear complex (PNC) and its two …

… We call the second of these forces the lubrication force, F lub = R FE : E∞, to indicate the
dominant influence of lubrication interactions for the conditions we will study. Including the …

The ability of cells to sense and communicate their shape is central to many of their functions.
Much is known about how cells generate complex shapes, yet how they sense and …

During mitosis microtubules self-organize to form a bipolar mitotic spindle structure, which
positions the sister chromatids on the spindle mid-plane and separates them afterwards. …

We studied the role of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on microphase separation
and hard domain assembly in the thermoplastic polyurethane/multiwalled carbon nanotube …
