#Exponential scaling of frictional forces in cells
“#Exponential scaling of frictional forces in cells” A polymer composed of a protein tubulin, it is a component of the cytoskeleton involved in intracellular transport, cellular mobility and nuclear division. Credit: AMOLF AMOLF researchers have presented a theory that describes the friction between biological filaments that are crosslinked by proteins. Surprisingly, their theory predicts that…
