F-actin bending facilitates net actomyosin contraction By inhibiting expansion with plus-end-located myosin motors

Contraction of actomyosin networks underpins important cellular processes including motility and division. The mechanical origin of actomyosin contraction is not fully-understood. We investigate whether contraction arises on the scale of individual filaments, without needing to invoke network-scale...
