Molecular motors make waves and sculpt patterns

Molecular motors make waves and sculpt patterns

Networks of dynamic actin filaments and myosin motors, confined in cell-like droplets, drive diverse spatiotemporal patterning of contractile flows, waves, and spirals. This multiscale active sculpting is tuned by the system dynamics and size.
