Arrested coalescence, aging, and stability of asters composed of microtubules and kinesin motors

The spontaneous formation of contractile asters is ubiquitous in reconstituted active materials composed of biopolymers and molecular motors. Asters are radially oriented biopolymers or biopolymer bundles with a dense motor-rich core. The microscopic origins of their material properties and their st...
