Force-velocity relation for growing microtubules.
Forces generated by microtubule polymerization and depolymerization are important for the biological functioning of cells. The mean growth velocity, V, under an opposing force, F, has been measured by; Science 278:856-860) for single microtubules growing in vitro, but their analysis of the data suggested that V decreased more rapidly with F than equilibrium (or "thermodynamic") theory predicted...
متن کاملExcitable actin dynamics in lamellipodial protrusion and retraction.
Many animal cells initiate crawling by protruding lamellipodia, consisting of a dense network of actin filaments, at their leading edge. We imaged XTC cells that exhibit flat lamellipodia on poly-L-lysine-coated coverslips. Using active contours, we tracked the leading edge and measured the total amount of F-actin by summing the pixel intensities within a 5-μm band. We observed protrusion and r...

متن کاملFMNL formins boost lamellipodial force generation
Migration frequently involves Rac-mediated protrusion of lamellipodia, formed by Arp2/3 complex-dependent branching thought to be crucial for force generation and stability of these networks. The formins FMNL2 and FMNL3 are Cdc42 effectors targeting to the lamellipodium tip and shown here to nucleate and elongate actin filaments with complementary activities in vitro. In migrating B16-F1 melano...
متن کاملContractile State of the Heart Characterized by Force-Velocity Relations in Variably Afterloaded and Isovolumic Beats
• The performance of the heart has been described traditionally in terms of relations between the end diastolic volume or filling pressure of the ventricles and their stroke volume or stroke work,the latter relationship having been extended to include a family of "ventricular function curves."" While these measurements provide considerable insight into the level of cardiac performance, recent s...
