Our paper "Comparison of explicit and mean-field models of cytoskeletal filaments with crosslinking motors" was published in European Physical Journal E today.
We present Brownian dynamics simulation results of driven semiflexible filaments with intrinsic curvature and investigate how the interplay between filament rigidity and radius of curvature can tune the self-organization behavior in homochiral systems and heterochiral mixtures.
We use simulations of driven filaments with tunable soft repulsion and rigidity in order to better understand how the interplay between filament flexibility and steric effects can lead to different active steady states.
Christopher Edelmaier, Laura Maguire, Jeffrey Moore, and Loren Hough presented posters on their work at the Biophysical Society annual meeting in San Francisco.
Jeffrey Moore received the Biophysical Society's Student Research Achievement Award for the best poster in the Motility and Cytoskeleton category at the BPS Annual Meeting. Congratulations!
