Interplay of active processes modulates tension and drives phase transition in self-renewing, motor-driven cytoskeletal networks

The actin cytoskeleton-a complex, nonequilibrium network consisting of filaments, actin-crosslinking proteins (ACPs) and motors-confers cell structure and functionality, from migration to morphogenesis. While the core components are recognized, much less is understood about the behaviour of the inte...
