Disordered actomyosin networks are sufficient to produce cooperative and telescopic contractility

The interaction between myosin motors and F-actin is well described, but the impact of actin organization on contractility is not well described. Here the authors use a 2D biomimetic system and computational modelling to show that contractility of isotropic actomyosin is cooperative, and contraction...

Disordered actomyosin networks are sufficient to produce cooperative and telescopic contractility
description The interaction between myosin motors and F-actin is well described, but the impact of actin organization on contractility is not well described. Here the authors use a 2D biomimetic system and computational modelling to show that contractility of isotropic actomyosin is cooperative, and contraction velocity scales with myosin activation area.
