Non-monotonic dependence of stiffness on actin crosslinking in cytoskeleton composites

The cytoskeleton is able to precisely tune its structure and mechanics through interactions between semiflexible actin filaments, rigid microtubules and a suite of crosslinker proteins. However, the role that each of these components, as well as the interactions between them, plays in the dynamics o...
