Active Self-Organization of Actin-Microtubule Composite Self-Propelled Rods

Active Self-Organization of Actin-Microtubule Composite Self-Propelled Rods

Spontaneous self-organization of active matter has been demonstrated in a number of biological systems including bacteria, cells, and cytoskeletal filaments. Cytoskeletal filaments act as active polar rods when they are propelled along a glass surface via motor proteins. Actin has previously been sh...
