摘要
Stress generation by myosin minifilaments is analyzed via simulation of their motion in a random actin network. The stresses are overwhelmingly contractile because minifilament equilibrium positions having contractile stress have lower energy than those for expansive stress. Force chains lead to unexpectedly large stresses.
