  1. ncbi Actin cross-linkers and the shape of stereocilia
    Martin Lenz
    Institut Curie, Centre de Recherche, Paris, France
    Biophys J 99:2423-33. 2010
    ..Numerical simulations of interacting filaments suggest an anomalous power-law divergence of the protrusion length at the growth transition, which could be a universal feature of cross-linked depolymerizing systems...
  2. ncbi Deformation of dynamin helices damped by membrane friction
    Sandrine Morlot
    Laboratoire Physico Chimie Curie, Institut Curie, Centre de Recherche, Paris, France
    Biophys J 99:3580-8. 2010
    ..Comparison between experiments and our model indicates that the deformation dynamics is dominated by the draining of the membrane out of the helix, allowing quantification of helix-membrane interactions...
  3. ncbi Mechanical requirements for membrane fission: common facts from various examples
    Martin Lenz
    Institut Curie, Centre de Recherche, CNRS, UMR 168, Physico Chimie Curie, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie Paris 6, F 75248 Paris, France
