Title: Cytoplasmic Streaming and the Swirling Instability of the Microtubule Cytoskeleton
Date: April 28th 3 PM
Abstract:
Cytoplasmic streaming is the persistent circulation of the fluid contents of large eukaryotic cells, driven by the action of
molecular motors moving along cytoskeletal filaments, entraining fluid. Discovered in 1774 by Bonaventura Corti, it is now
recognized as a common phenomenon in a very broad range of model organisms, from plants to flies and worms. This talk
will discuss physical approaches to understanding this phenomenon through a combination of experiments (on aquatic
plants, Drosophila, and other active matter systems), theory, and computation. A particular focus will be on streaming in
the Drosophila oocyte, for which I will describe a recently discovered “swirling instability” of the microtubule cytoskeleton.
