Self-propelled Particles under Cyclic Mechanical Stimuli: Modeling Microtubule Patterns

Key Points

• This study aims to explain the formation of microtubule band patterns under cyclic mechanical stimuli.
• Examined microtubule patterns through mechanical stretching along specific angles.
• Developed a model of self-propelled particle dynamics based on observed patterns.
• Identified distinct microtubule band patterns at specific angles under cyclic stimuli.
• Explored new control methods for self-propelled particle systems in dynamic environments.
