Actin-binding proteins sensitively mediate F-actin bundle stiffness (2006, methodology): “. The maximal deflection, wB,max ,o f a bundle subject to a unit load in three-point bending with pinned boundary conditions is calculated analytically using an analogous version of equation ( 11 ) of ref.”
Microrheology of complex fluids (2005, background): “Further bulk rheology experiments revisited the theory in detail (Gardel et al 2004) and found agreement using samples with carefully controlled densities of cross-linker proteins.”
New measures for characterizing nonlinear viscoelasticity in large amplitude oscillatory shear (2008, background): “The most common of these techniques is to measure a differential modulus [Janmey et al. (1983), Gardel et al. (2004), Yao et al. (2008)] from a small amplitude oscillatory shear deformation that is superposed upon a fixed bias 8/46 strain or stress.”
Modeling semiflexible polymer networks (2014, methodology): “…precise role of bending interactions in biological fiber networks has been subject of much debate (Buxton and Clarke, 2007; Chaudhuri et al., 2007; Gardel et al., 2004a; Head et al., 2003a,b; Heussinger and Frey, 2006a; Heussinger et al., 2007b; Huisman and Lubensky, 2011; Lieleg et al., 2007;…”
Microstructure and viscoelasticity of confined semiflexible polymer networks (2006, neutral): “In vitro polymerized entangled and crosslinked actin networks have therefore been used extensively as model systems to attain a better understanding of the mechanical properties of cells (see, for example, refs&nbs”
Physics of adherent cells (2013, background): “This entropic nonlinearity is particularly interesting because the strains may still be relatively small (Gardel et al., 2004; Storm et al., 2005) even though the medium responds very non-linearly; this is quite different from analytical non-linearities (e.g, due to additional quadratic terms in…”
