autonomously. Internally, these abilities are powered by self organized networks
of chiral filaments and motor molecules, which are collectively called the
cytoskeleton. We construct the theoretical framework that allows us to derive
the large scale material properties of cytoskeletal networks from microscale
interactions. In this talk, I will highlight how the handedness of motor-filament
interactions shapes the emergent material properties. In particular, I will discuss
the emergence of chiral contributions to the stress tensor and their macroscopic
consequences.
