Swirling Instability of the Microtubule Cytoskeleton

Multisynchrony in active microfilaments

“…Despite the richness of these weakly-coupled bead models, in most biological situations, the opposite regime where h ≪ L is more relevant and the slender geometry of the filament should be considered. Until recently, there are a few elastic filament models for synchronizations, and they mainly focus on in-phase and anti-phase synchronizations only [12][13][14][15][16].…”
