The active materials central to cellular mechanics are cytoskeletal networks, where molecular motor activity drives deformations and remodeling. Here, we investigate deformation modes in contractile actin networks driven by the molecular motor myosin II through quantitative fluorescence microscopy. We examine the deformation anisotropy at different length scales in networks of sparsely cross-linked and bundled actin. In sparsely cross-linked networks, we find myosin-dependent biaxial buckling modes across length scales. Interestingly, both long and short-wavelength buckling may contribute to network contractility. In cross-linked bundled networks, uniaxial contraction predominates on long length scales, while the uniaxial or biaxial nature of the deformation depends on bundle microstructure at shorter length scales. The anisotropy of deformations may provide insight to the mechanical origins of contractility in actin networks and regulation of collective behavior in a variety of active materials.</p>","PeriodicalId":72407,"journal":{"name":"bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/55/eb/nihpp-2023.05.15.540780v1.PMC10245561.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9638838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this, we compared sEV isolation using two combinations: SEC-DGUC and DGUC-SEC, from unit volumes of 500 <i>μl</i> plasma.

Conditioning electrical stimulation (CES) is a novel variation of the well-studied perioperative electrical stimulation treatment paradigm. CES is a clinically attractive alternative because of its ability to be performed at the bedside prior to a scheduled nerve repair surgery. Although 60 minutes of CES has been shown to enhance motor and sensory axon regeneration, the effects of CES on sympathetic regeneration are unknown. We investigated how two clinically relevant CES paradigms (10 minutes and 60 minutes) impact sympathetic axon regeneration and distal target reinnervation. Our results indicate that the growth of sympathetic axons is inhibited by CES at acute time points, and at a longer survival time point post-injury, there is no difference between sham CES and the CES groups. We conclude sympathetic axons may retain some regenerative ability, but no enhancement is exhibited after CES, which may be accounted for by the inability of the electrical stimulation paradigm to recruit the small-caliber sympathetic axons into activity. Furthermore, 10-minute CES did not enhance motor and sensory regeneration with a direct repair, and neither 60-minute nor 10-minute CES enhanced motor and sensory regeneration through a graft.
