Linear and non-linear mechanics of biopolymer networks — •David A. Weitz — Dept. of Physics, Harvard University, USA

This talk will explore the mechanical properties of reconstituted networks of biopolymers that make up the cytoskeleton of the cell. Both linear and non-linear mechanics are essential in fully describing the behavior. In addition, comparisons to the mechanical properties of cells will also be discussed.
