Taale, Mohammadreza; Schmidt, Målin; Taheri, Fereydoon; Timmermann, Michael; Selhuber-Unkel, Christine, 2024, "A Minimalistic, Synthetic Cell-Inspired Metamaterial for Enabling Reversible Strain-Stiffening [data]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/MNMLVX, heiDATA, V2
Strain-stiffening, i.e. the nonlinear stiffening of a material in response to a strain, is an intrinsic feature of many biological systems, including skin, blood vessels, and single cells. To avoid a mismatch in mechanical properties, synthetic materials in contact with such biol... |

Illig, Maja; Jahnke, Kevin; Weise, Lukas P.; Scheffold, Marlene; Mersdorf, Ulrike; Drechsler, Hauke; Zhang, Yixin; Diez, Stefan; Kierfeld, Jan; Göpfrich, Kerstin, 2024, "Triggered contraction of self-assembled micron-scale DNA nanotube rings [Research Data]", https://doi.org/10.11588/data/ADYUNN, heiDATA, V1, UNF:6:AJdXI51lTUqvs4V/XCVPZQ== [fileUNF]
Contractile rings formed from cytoskeletal filaments mediate the division of cells. Ring formation is induced by specific crosslinkers, while contraction is typically associated with motor protein activity. Here, we engineer DNA nanotubes as mimics of cytoskeletal filaments and a... |
