Dynamic curvature regulation accounts for the symmetric and asymmetric beats of Chlamydomonas flagella

Dynamic curvature regulation accounts for the symmetric and asymmetric beats of Chlamydomonas flagella

Cilia and flagella are model systems for studying how mechanical forces control morphology. The periodic bending motion of cilia and flagella is thought to arise from mechanical feedback: dynein motors generate sliding forces that bend the flagellum, and bending leads to deformations and stresses, w...
