Dynamic mechanisms of cell rigidity sensing: insights from a computational model of actomyosin networks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Cells modulate themselves in response to the surrounding environment like substrate elasticity, exhibiting structural reorganization driven by the contractility of cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is the scaffolding structure of eukaryotic cells, playing a

Molecular Motors–Nature’s Efficiency at Work
Reports in Advances of Physical Sciences, 2022 Nature has generated sophisticated and very efficient molecular motors, employed for nanoscale transport at the intracellular level. As a complementary tool to nanofluidics, these motors have been envisioned for nanotechnological devices.

Transport characteristics of molecular motors [PDF]
Biosystems, 2008 Properties of transport of molecular motors are investigated. A simplified model based on the concept of Brownian ratchets is applied. We analyze a stochastic equation of motion by means of numerical methods. The transport is systematically studied with respect to its energetic efficiency and quality expressed by an effective diffusion coefficient.

Universal and unique features of kinesin motors: Insights from a comparison of fungal and animal conventional kinesins [PDF]
, 1999 Kinesins are microtubule motors that use the energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP to move unidirectionally along microtubules, The founding member of this still growing superfamily is conventional kinesin, a dimeric motor that moves processively ...

Molecular motors in nanobiotechnology: Protein and DNA based molecular motors: A review
Results in ChemistryMolecular motor can be defined as the collection of a separate number of molecular features (that is, a supramolecular structure) which has been developed to carry out a function through the mechanical movements of its components, which occurs when it is

eLife, 2016 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
