Filament turnover tunes both force generation and dissipation to control long-range flows in a model actomyosin cortex.
Actomyosin-based cortical flow is a fundamental engine for cellular morphogenesis. Cortical flows are generated by cross-linked networks of actin filaments and myosin motors, in which active stress produced by motor activity is opposed by passive resistance to network deformation. Continuous flow re...
