Probing locally the onset of slippage at a model multi-contact interface
V. Romero, E. Wandersman, G. Debrégeas +1
We report on the multi-contact frictional dynamics of model elastomer surfaces rubbed against bare glass slides. The surfaces consist of layers patterned with thousands spherical c…
Geometry-induced superdiffusion in driven crowded systems
Olivier Bénichou, Anna Bodrova, Dipanjan Chakraborty +5
Recent Molecular Dynamics simulations of glass-forming liquids revealed superdiffusive fluctuations associated with the position of a tracer particle (TP) driven by an external for…
Geometric friction directs cell migration
M. Le Berre, Yan-Jun Liu, J. Hu +5
In the absence of environmental cues, a migrating cell performs an isotropic random motion. Recently, the breaking of this isotropy has been observed when cells move in the presenc…
Protrusion fluctuations direct cell motion
David Caballero, Raphael Voituriez, Daniel Riveline
Many physiological phenomena involve directional cell migration. It is usually attributed to chemical gradients in vivo. Recently, other cues have been shown to guide cells in vitr…
Active polar fluid flow in finite droplets
Carl A. Whitfield, Davide Marenduzzo, Raphaël Voituriez +1
We present a continuum level analytical model of a droplet of active contractile fluid consisting of filaments and motors. We calculate the steady state flows that result from a sp…
Active Gel Model of Amoeboid Cell Motility
A. C. Callan-Jones, R. Voituriez
We develop a model of amoeboid cell motility based on active gel theory. Modeling the motile apparatus of a eukaryotic cell as a confined layer of finite length of poroelastic acti…
