Active liquid crystals powered by force-sensing DNA-motor clusters [PDF]
, 2021 Cytoskeletal active nematics exhibit striking non-equilibrium dynamics that are powered by energy-consuming molecular motors. To gain insight into the structure and mechanics of these materials, we design programmable clusters in which kinesin motors are linked by a double-stranded DNA linker.

Explosive Strength Modeling in Children: Trends According to Growth and Prediction Equation
Applied Sciences, 2020 Lower limb explosive strength has been widely used to evaluate physical fitness and general health in children. A plethora of studies have scoped the practicality of the standing broad jump (SBJ), though without accounting for body dimensions, which are ...

Interaction between catalytic micro motors [PDF]
J. Chem. Phys. 144, 134901 (2016), 2015 Starting from a microscopic model for a spherically symmetric active Janus particle, we study the interactions between two such active motors. The ambient fluid mediates a long range hydrodynamic interaction between two motors. This interaction has both direct and indirect hydrodynamic contributions. The direct contribution is due to the propagation of

“Fitness and Fatness” in Children and Adolescents: An Italian Cross-Sectional Study
Children, 2021 Children with obesity tend to have lower level of physical activity compared to non-obese peers. In fact, sedentary behaviors are prevalent in obese children causing difficulties to perform motor tasks and engaging in sport activities. This, in turn, has

Motility states in bidirectional cargo transport [PDF]
EPL 111 (2015) 68005, 2015 Intracellular cargos which are transported by molecular motors move stochastically along cytoskeleton filaments. In particular for bidirectionally transported cargos it is an open question whether the characteristics of their motion can result from pure stochastic fluctuations or whether some coordination of the motors is needed.
