Odd dynamics of living chiral crystals

…, A Mietke, J Li, Y Chen, H Higinbotham, PJ Foster… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Active crystals are highly ordered structures that emerge from the self-organization of motile
objects, and have been widely studied in synthetic 1 , 2 and bacterial 3 , 4 active matter. …

Prevalence of overweight and obesity in Saudi children and adolescents

MI El Mouzan, PJ Foster, AS Al Herbish… - Annals of Saudi …, 2010 - annsaudimed.net

Lipopolysaccharide is transported to the cell surface by a membrane-to-membrane protein bridge

…, R Xie, RJ Taylor, AH George, S Okuda, PJ Foster… - Science, 2018 - science.org
Gram-negative bacteria have an outer membrane that serves as a barrier to noxious agents
in the environment. This protective function is dependent on lipopolysaccharide, a large …

Active contraction of microtubule networks

PJ Foster, S Fürthauer, MJ Shelley, DJ Needleman - Elife, 2015 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.10837.001 Many cellular processes are driven by cytoskeletal assemblies. It
remains unclear how cytoskeletal filaments and motor proteins organize into cellular scale …

Physical bioenergetics: Energy fluxes, budgets, and constraints in cells

…, DV Titov, J Wang, PJ Foster - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Cells are the basic units of all living matter which harness the flow of energy to drive the
processes of life. While the biochemical networks involved in energy transduction are well-…

Dissipation and energy propagation across scales in an active cytoskeletal material

PJ Foster, J Bae, B Lemma, J Zheng… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Living systems are intrinsically nonequilibrium: They use metabolically derived chemical
energy to power their emergent dynamics and self-organization. A crucial driver of these …

[PDF][PDF] Cooperative accumulation of dynein-dynactin at microtubule minus-ends drives microtubule network reorganization

R Tan, PJ Foster, DJ Needleman, RJ McKenney - Developmental cell, 2018 - cell.com
Cytoplasmic dynein-1 is a minus-end-directed motor protein that transports cargo over long
distances and organizes the intracellular microtubule (MT) network. How dynein motor …

Self-straining of actively crosslinked microtubule networks

S Fürthauer, B Lemma, PJ Foster, SC Ems-McClung… - Nature physics, 2019 - nature.com
Cytoskeletal networks are foundational examples of active matter and central to self-organized
structures in the cell. In vivo, these networks are active and densely crosslinked. Relating …

Body mass index in Saudi Arabian children and adolescents: a national reference and comparison with international standards

…, MM Al Qureshi, AA Al Omar, PJ Foster… - Annals of Saudi …, 2009 - annsaudimed.net
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES : Because there are no reference standards for body mass
index (BMI) in Saudi children, we established BMI reference percentiles for normal Saudi …
