摘要

Cells utilize waves of polymerizing actin to reshape their morphologies, which is central to physiological and pathological processes alike. Here, we force dorsal actin waves to propagate on one-dimensional domains with periodic boundary conditions, which results in striking spatiotemporal patterns with a clear signature of noise-driven dynamics. We show that these patterns can be very closely reproduced with a noise-driven active medium at coherence resonance.
