Cytoskeletal motor proteins are biological nanomachines that convert chemical energy into
mechanical work to carry out various functions such as cell division, cell motility, cargo …

Radial microtubule (MT) arrays or asters determine cell geometry in animal cells. Multiple
asters interacting with motors, such as those in syncytia, form intracellular patterns, but the …

Many cytoskeletal systems are now sufficiently well known to permit their precise
quantitative modelling. Microtubule and actin filaments are well characterized, and the …

Microtubules (MTs) are observed to move and buckle driven by ATP-dependent molecular
motors in both mitotic and interphasic eukaryotic cells as well as in specialized structures …

Motivation Quantification of microscopy time series of in vitro reconstituted motor-driven
microtubule transport in “gliding assays” is typically performed using computational object …

Computational image analysis combined with label‐free imaging has helped maintain its
relevance for cell biology, despite the rapid technical improvements in fluorescence …

Microtubule (MT) radial arrays or asters establish the internal topology of a cell by interacting
with organelles and molecular motors. We proceed to understand the general pattern …

Translational motors that depend on cytoskeletal elements, either actin or tubulin, for their
activity are critical for cellular function in eukaryotes. Microtubule (MT)-dependent motors are …

Positioning the nucleus at the bud neck during Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitosis involves
pulling forces of cytoplasmic dynein localized in the daughter cell. Although genetic analysis …

Flagellar and ciliary oscillations result from a combination of stereotypical axonemal
geometry, collective mechanics of motors, microtubules (MTs), elastic linkers and …
