 abstract = {We study the effects of externally applied shear flow on a model of
suspensions of motors and. laments, via the equations of active
hydrodynamics ( Phys. Rev. Lett., 89 ( 2002) 058101; 92 ( 2004) 118101).
In the absence of shear, the orientationally ordered phase of both polar
and apolar active particles is always unstable at zero wavenumber. An
imposed steady shear large enough to overcome the active stresses
stabilises both apolar and moving polar phases. Our work is relevant to
in vitro studies of active. laments, the reorientation of endothelial
cells subject to shear flow and shear-induced motility of attached
cells.},
