Formation of regularly spaced networks as a general feature of actin bundle condensation by entropic forces
Biopolymer networks contribute mechanical integrity as well as functional organization to living cells. One of their major constituents, the protein actin, is present in a large variety of different network architectures, ranging from extensive networks to densely packed bundles. The shape of the ne...
