Microtubules and molecular motors are essential components of the cellular cytoskeleton, driving fundamental processes in vivo, including chromosome segregation cargo transport. When reconstituted vitro, these cytoskeletal proteins serve as energy-consuming building blocks to study self-organization active matter. Cytoskeletal gels display rich emergent dynamics, extensile flows, locally contractile asters, bulk contraction. However, it is unclear how protein–protein interaction kinetics set...

The spontaneous formation of contractile asters is ubiquitous in reconstituted active materials composed biopolymers and molecular motors. Asters are radially oriented or biopolymer bundles with a dense motor-rich core. microscopic origins their material properties stability unknown. Recent efforts highlighted how motor-filament filament-filament interactions control the microtubules kinesin However, impact motor-motor less understood, despite growing evidence that motors often spontaneously...

Abstract How active stresses generated by molecular motors set the large-scale mechanics of cell cytoskeleton remains poorly understood. Here, we combine experiments and theory to demonstrate how emergent properties a biomimetic crosslinked gel depend on its microscopic constituents. We show that an extensile nematic elastomer exhibits two distinct activity-driven instabilities, spontaneously bending in-plane or buckling out-of-plane depending composition. Molecular play dual antagonistic...

Active nematic liquid crystals have the remarkable ability to spontaneously deform and flow in absence of any external driving force. While living materials with orientational order, such as mitotic spindle, can self-assemble quiescent active phases, reconstituted systems often display chaotic, periodic, or circulating flows under confinement. Quiescent nematics are, therefore, quite rare, despite prediction from hydrodynamic theory that confinement between two parallel plates suppress...
