Multicellular organisms generate complex morphologies required for their function.
Organisms control these morphologies by tuning active forces and by altering the emergent …

In swimming microorganisms and the cell cytoskeleton, inextensible fibers resist bending
and twisting, and interact with the surrounding fluid to cause or resist large-scale fluid …

The cytoskeleton is an important structural component that regulates various aspects of cell
morphology, movement, and intracellular signaling. It plays a pivotal role in the cellular …

A fast and spectrally accurate Ewald summation method for the evaluation of stokeslet,
stresslet and rotlet potentials of three-dimensional Stokes flow is presented. This work …

Actomyosin networks play essential roles in many cellular processes, including intracellular
transport, cell division and cell motility, and exhibit many spatiotemporal patterns. Despite …

Transient bonds between fast linkers and slower particles are widespread in physical and
biological systems. Despite their diverse structure and function, a commonality is that the …

Contractile cytoskeletal structures such as fine actomyosin meshworks and stress fibers are
essential force-generators for mechanical phenomena in live cells, including motility …

Semiflexible slender filaments are ubiquitous in nature and cell biology, including in the
cytoskeleton, where reorganization of actin filaments allows the cell to move and divide …

Abstract We introduce UAMMD (Universally Adaptable Multiscale Molecular Dynamics), a
novel software infrastructure tailored for mesoscale complex fluid simulations on GPUs. The …

Morphology changes in cross-linked actin networks are important in cell motility, division,
and cargo transport. Here, we study the transition from a weakly cross-linked network of …
