Phase behavior and rheology of sticky rod-like particles (2008)
Huang, F., Rotstein, R., Kasza, K. E., Flynn, N. T., Fraden, S.
We construct colloidal ``sticky'' rods from the semi-flexible filamentous fd virus and temperature-sensitive polymers poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). The phase diagram of fd-PNIPAM system...

Abstract: Cross-linked actin networks are remarkable materials with unusual mechanical properties. Their elasticity is typically highly nonlinear, exhibiting a striking increase in stiffness with...

We image semi-flexible polymer networks under shear at the micrometer scale. By tracking embedded probe particles, we determine the local strain field, and directly measure its uniformity, or degree...

We study the growth and invasion of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in three-dimensional collagen I matrices of varying collagen concentration. Phase-contrast microscopy studies of the entire GBM...
