章节摘录

　　collagenous connective tissues， battery substrates and paper products amongmany others. For example， the cytoskeleton is a random network of filamen-tous proteins： filamentous actin （F-actin）， microtubules and intermediatefilaments. This network is rendered active by the presence of myosin motormolecules and has a complex role in the mechanics of the cell， the transportof biomolecules within the cytoplasm and in chemo-mechanical transductionand signaling[l-3l. The cytoskeleton is an out-of-equilibrium network whichconstantly remodels itself in response to external stimuli using a large num-ber of binding and cross-linking proteins interacting with the cytoskeletalfilaments. Fiber networks may also be exploited by several infectious bac-teria for self-propulsion[4，51. The bacterial pathogen listeria monocytogenes，responsible for more than 2000 annual illnesses and deaths in US， form a fil-amentous comet tail by taking over the host cell actin machinery. The comettail is a complex network of cross-linked filaments which are constantly poly-merized and depolymerized to generate forces to propel the bacteria withinthe cytoplasm of the infected cells and into the other neighboring cells. Thelocal elasticity of these media determines to a large extent cellular growthrates. Connective tissues （CTs） such as cartilage and tendon belong to an-other category of biological fibrous networks. The mechanical functionality ofCTs derives directly from the structure and composition of their extracellularmatrix （ECM）. ECM is a network of insolub　　e fibrils （e.g.， collagen， elastin）and soluble proteoglycan polymers. It is responsible for carrying stresses andmaintaining tissue shape while infiuencing a large number of other biologi-cal properties and functions of the tissue. In any connective tissue， the con-stituents are meticulously arrangedinside the extracellular matrix to optimizethe function of that specific tissue. 　　……
