Lipid bilayer mediates ion-channel cooperativity in a model of hair-cell mechanotransduction
Francesco Gianoli, Thomas Risler, Andrei S. Kozlov
Mechanoelectrical transduction in the inner ear is a biophysical process underlying the senses of hearing and balance. The key players involved in this process are mechanosensitive…
Bistability, oscillations and bidirectional motion of ensemble of hydrodynamically-coupled molecular motors
P. Malgaretti, I. Pagonabarraga, J. F. Joanny
We analyze the collective behavior of hydrodynamically coupled molecular motors. We show that the local fluxes induced by motors displacement can induce the experimentally observed…
Cell growth, division and death in cohesive tissues: a thermodynamic approach
Shunsuke Yabunaka, Philippe Marcq
Cell growth, division and death are defining features of biological tissues that contribute to morphogenesis. In hydrodynamic descriptions of cohesive tissues, their occurrence imp…
Dynamical phase transitions, temporal orthogonality and the dynamics of observables in one dimensional ultra-cold quantum gases: from the continuum to the lattice
Thomás Fogarty, Ayaka Usui, Thomas Busch +2
We investigate the dynamics of the rate function and of local observables after a quench in models which exhibit phase transitions between a superfluid and an insulator in their gr…
Optical manipulation of shape-morphing elastomeric liquid crystal microparticles doped with gold nanocrystals
Yaoran Sun, Julian S. Evans, Taewoo Lee +4
We demonstrate facile optical manipulation of shape of birefringent colloidal microparticles made from liquid crystal elastomers. Using soft lithography and polymerization, we fabr…
