This paper introduces a phase oscillator model to explain actomyosin oscillations, showing that cooperative behavior arises from mechanical coupling rather than molecular kinetics.

The paper predicts eukaryotic flagellar beat patterns from molecular chemomechanical parameters using a nonlinear reaction-diffusion model, revealing new mechanisms for wave propagation and biophysical insights.

The paper develops a discrete model of myosin systems to simulate sarcomere oscillatory contractions, revealing internal dynamics and conditions for regularity in spontaneous oscillations.

This study reconstructs fluid flow around a free-swimming human sperm using 3D microscopy and numerical models, revealing counter-rotating vortices in the flow pattern.
