Abstract:
The viscoelastic response of living cells is determined by heterogenous networks of crosslinked and bundled actin filaments. The quantitative impact of such local network heterogeneities is studied best in well-defined in vitro model systems by employing microscopic and micromechanical techniques. In this study, we show that reconstituted ?-actinin/actin networks exhibit a structural polymorphism, which is dictated by two types of mesoscopic heterogeneities. We investigate the correlation of the...     »
