Actin cortex architecture regulates cell surface tension

…, AG Clark, MB Smith, DAD Cassani, K Dierkes… - Nature cell …, 2017 - nature.com
Animal cell shape is largely determined by the cortex, a thin actin network underlying the
plasma membrane in which myosin-driven stresses generate contractile tension. Tension …

The remarkable cochlear amplifier

…, P Dallos, K Dierkes, R Fettiplace, K Grosh… - Hearing research, 2010 - Elsevier
This composite article is intended to give the experts in the field of cochlear mechanics an
opportunity to voice their personal opinion on the one mechanism they believe dominates …

[PDF][PDF] Monitoring actin cortex thickness in live cells

AG Clark, K Dierkes, EK Paluch - Biophysical journal, 2013 - cell.com
Animal cell shape is controlled primarily by the actomyosin cortex, a thin cytoskeletal network
that lies directly beneath the plasma membrane. The cortex regulates cell morphology by …

Spontaneous oscillations of elastic contractile materials with turnover

K Dierkes, A Sumi, J Solon, G Salbreux - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
… (g) Real parts of the eigenvalues of the linearized dynamics around the homogeneous state
s(k), as a function of the wave vector k, for (τk1)=μ = 1 and μ=λ = 0. k = 1 2 corresponds to a …

[PDF][PDF] Adherens junction length during tissue contraction is controlled by the mechanosensitive activity of actomyosin and junctional recycling

…, A D'Angelo, J Colombelli, G Salbreux, K Dierkes… - Developmental cell, 2018 - cell.com
During epithelial contraction, cells generate forces to constrict their surface and, concurrently,
fine-tune the length of their adherens junctions to ensure force transmission. While many …

A high-level description and performance evaluation of pupil invisible

M Tonsen, CK Baumann, K Dierkes - arXiv preprint arXiv:2009.00508, 2020 - arxiv.org
Head-mounted eye trackers promise convenient access to reliable gaze data in unconstrained
environments. Due to several limitations, however, often they can only partially deliver on …

[PDF][PDF] In vivo force application reveals a fast tissue softening and external friction increase during early embryogenesis

A D'Angelo, K Dierkes, C Carolis, G Salbreux, J Solon - Current Biology, 2019 - cell.com
… We also noted that the effective viscoelastic timescales, m1/K and m2/K, did not change
significantly (Figure S2D). This observation indicates that both elasticity and viscosities change …

Science and technology of rubber reclamation with special attention to NR-based waste latex products

VV Rajan, WK Dierkes, R Joseph… - Progress in polymer …, 2006 - Elsevier
A comprehensive overview of reclamation of cured rubber with special emphasis on latex
reclamation is depicted in this paper. The latex industry has expanded over the years to meet …

Enhancement of sensitivity gain and frequency tuning by coupling of active hair bundles

K Dierkes, B Lindner, F Jülicher - Proceedings of the …, 2008 - National Acad Sciences
… Our analysis shows that there is characteristic range of coupling strengths K approximately
KK SP where amplification is significantly enhanced while at the same time frequency …

A novel approach to single camera, glint-free 3D eye model fitting including corneal refraction

K Dierkes, M Kassner, A Bulling - … of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Eye …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
Model-based methods for glint-free gaze estimation typically infer eye pose using pupil contours
extracted from eye images. Existing methods, however, either ignore or require complex …
