[HTML][HTML] The forces behind cell movement
R Ananthakrishnan, A Ehrlicher - International journal of biological …, 2007 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Cell movement is a complex phenomenon primarily driven by the actin network beneath the
cell membrane, and can be divided into three general components: protrusion of the leading …

Advancing the mechanical performance of glasses: perspectives and challenges
Glasses are materials that lack a crystalline microstructure and long‐range atomic order.
Instead, they feature heterogeneity and disorder on superstructural scales, which have …

Can a collapse of global civilization be avoided?
PR Ehrlich, AH Ehrlich - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2013 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Environmental problems have contributed to numerous collapses of civilizations in the past.
Now, for the first time, a global collapse appears likely. Overpopulation, overconsumption by …

[HTML][HTML] Probing the stochastic, motor-driven properties of the cytoplasm using force spectrum microscopy
Molecular motors in cells typically produce highly directed motion; however, the aggregate,
incoherent effect of all active processes also creates randomly fluctuating forces, which drive …

Cytoskeletal mechanics of proplatelet maturation and platelet release
…, MT Devine, JL Richardson, A Ehrlicher… - Journal of cell …, 2010 - rupress.org
Megakaryocytes generate platelets by remodeling their cytoplasm into long proplatelet
extensions, which serve as assembly lines for platelet production. Although the mechanics of …

[HTML][HTML] The role of vimentin intermediate filaments in cortical and cytoplasmic mechanics
The mechanical properties of a cell determine many aspects of its behavior, and these mechanics
are largely determined by the cytoskeleton. Although the contribution of actin filaments …
