As the field of soft robotics advances, full autonomy becomes highly sought after, especially
if robot motion can be powered by environmental energy. This would present a self …

Oscillations play an important role in many dynamic cellular processes. They can emerge as
the collective dynamic behavior of an ensemble of interacting components in the cell …

This is the second in a series of canonical reviews on invertebrate muscle. We cover here
thin and thick filament structure, the molecular basis of force generation and its regulation …

We demonstrate that the cell wall of living Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) exhibits
local temperature-dependent nanomechanical motion at characteristic frequencies. The …

In this paper we report, clarify and broaden various recent efforts to complement the
chemistry-centered models of force generation in (skeletal) muscles by mechanics-centered …

Many cellular processes require molecular motors to produce motion and forces. Single
molecule experiments have led to a precise description of how a motor works. Under most …

Collective chaos is shown to emerge, via a period-doubling cascade, from quasiperiodic
partial synchronization in a population of identical inhibitory neurons with delayed global …

Single and collective cellular oscillations driven by the actomyosin cytoskeleton have been
observed in numerous biological systems. Here, we propose that these oscillations can be …

We describe a transition from fully synchronous periodic oscillations to partially synchronous
quasiperiodic dynamics in ensembles of identical oscillators with all-to-all coupling that …

We analyze a large system of heterogeneous quadratic integrate-and-fire (QIF) neurons with
time delayed, all-to-all synaptic coupling. The model is exactly reduced to a system of firing …
