Probing and modeling cell-cell communication in 2D biomimetic tissues
Cécile Marie Vincent, Sapna Ravindran, Alexis Michel Prevost +3
In tissues, cells in direct physical contact with each other can exchange ions or molecules via protein clusters called gap junctions that form channels across the membranes of adj…
Maze-solving with density-driven swarms
Esther María Zamora Sánchez, Sébastien Billès, Paul-Henry Glinel +2
We propose a new kind of collective motion where swarms of simple agents are able to find and fix the solution of two-dimensional mazes. The model consists of active memoryless par…
Intestinal villi and crypt density robustly maximizes nutrient absorption
Martin Garic, Rohan Vernekar, Dácil I. Yánez Martín +3
The villi and crypts of the gastrointestinal tract increase the effective surface area of the intestinal mucosa, potentially enhancing nutrient absorption. It is commonly assumed t…
Screw Symmetry, Chiral Hydrodynamics and Odd Instability in Active Cholesterics
Gareth P. Alexander, S. J. Kole, Ananyo Maitra +1
Active cholesterics are chiral in both their structure, which has continuous screw symmetry, and their active stresses, which include contributions from torque dipoles. Both expres…
Environment heterogeneity creates fast amplifiers of natural selection in graph-structured populations
Cecilia Fruet, Arthur Alexandre, Alia Abbara +2
Complex spatial structure, with partially isolated subpopulations, and environment heterogeneity, such as gradients in nutrients, oxygen, and drugs, both shape the evolution of nat…
Design and optimization of in situ self-functionalizing stress sensors
Olga Vasiljevic, Nicolas Harmand, Antoine Hubert +7
Mechanical contributions are crucial regulators of diverse biological processes, yet their \textit{in vivo} measurement remains challenging due to limitations of current techniques…
