Cytoskeletal filaments provide cells with mechanical stability and organization. The main key players are actin filaments and microtubules governing a cell's response to mechanical …
The cytoskeleton is a network of interconnected protein filaments, which provide a three‐ dimensional scaffold for cells. Remodeling of the cytoskeleton is important for key cellular …
The self-assembly of molecular and macromolecular building blocks into organized patterns is a complex process found in diverse systems over a wide range of size and time scales …
Attractive depletion forces between rodlike particles in highly crowded environments have been shown through recent modeling and experimental approaches to induce different …
Actin and tubulin are key structural elements of Eukaryotes' cytoskeleton. The networks of actin filaments and tubulin microtubules are substrates for cells' motility and mechanics, intra …

Solvent conditions are unexpectedly sufficient to drastically and reversibly slow down cells. In vitro on the molecular level, protein–solvent interactions drastically change in the …
Suspensions of microtubules and nonadsorbing particles form thick and long bundles due to depletion forces. Such interactions act at the nanometer scale and define the structural and …
Actin filaments are conductive to ionic currents, mechanical and voltage solitons. These travelling localisations can be utilised to generate computing circuits from actin networks …
