Scientific paper

We propose a mechanism for the formation of actin comet tails. Recent experimental work has shown that single comet tails are not the only possible morphology for the actin cloud around a NWasp coated polystyrene bead. Multiple (2+) tails have also been shown to form. These formations challange theories which rely on bead motion for the formation of comet tails. However, both single comet tails and multiple tails can be explained as a fingering instability at an interface similar to a Rayleigh, Taylor or Saffman instability.
