Intra-bundle contractions enable extensile properties of active actin networks

The cellular cortex is a dynamic and contractile actomyosin network modulated by actin-binding proteins. We reconstituted a minimal cortex adhered to a model cell membrane mimicking two processes mediated by the motor protein myosin: contractility and high turnover of actin monomers. Myosin reorgani...
