TopoSPAM: Topology grounded Simulation Platform for morphogenesis and biological Active Matter
Abhinav Singh, Abhijeet Krishna, Aboutaleb Amiri +11
We present a topology grounded, multiscale simulation platform for morphogenesis and biological active matter. Morphogenesis and biological active matter represent keystone problem…
Measurements of molecular size and shape on a chip
Xin Zhu, Timothy JD Bennett, Konstantin C Zouboulis +6
Size and shape are critical discriminators between molecular species and states. We describe a micro-chip based high-throughput imaging approach offering rapid and precise determin…
A model for boundary-driven tissue morphogenesis
Daniel S. Alber, Shiheng Zhao, Alexandre O. Jacinto +3
Tissue deformations during morphogenesis can be active, driven by internal processes, or passive, resulting from stresses applied at their boundaries. Here, we introduce the Drosop…
Cell divisions imprint long lasting elastic strain fields in epithelial tissues
Ali Tahaei, Romina Pisticello-Gómez, S Suganthan +4
A hallmark of biological tissues, viewed as complex cellular materials, is the active generation of mechanical stresses by cellular processes, such as cell divisions. Each cellular…
Active shape control by plants in dynamic environments
Hadrien Oliveri, Derek E. Moulton, Heather A. Harrington +1
Plants are a paradigm for active shape control in response to stimuli. For instance, it is well-known that a tilted plant will eventually straighten vertically, demonstrating the i…
Active T1 transitions in cellular networks
Charlie Duclut, Joris Paijmans, Mandar M. Inamdar +2
In amorphous solids as in tissues, neighbor exchanges can relax local stresses and allow the material to flow. In this paper, we use an anisotropic vertex model to study T1 rearran…
Physical requirements for scaling up network-based biocomputation
Jingyuan Zhu, Till Korten, Hillel Kugler +5
The high energy consumption of electronic data processors, together with physical challenges limiting their further improvement, has triggered intensive interest in alternative com…
Molecular Assembly Lines in Active Droplets
Tyler S. Harmon, Frank Jülicher
Large protein complexes are assembled from protein subunits to form a specific structure. In our theoretic work, we propose that assembly into the correct structure could be reliab…
Generalized models for bond percolation transitions of associative polymers
Jeong-Mo Choi, Anthony A. Hyman, Rohit V. Pappu
Associative polymers with sticker-and-spacer architectures undergo phase transitions that combine phase separation and bond percolation. Here, we generalize mean-field models for b…
How to Pare a Pair: Topology Control and Pruning in Intertwined Complex Networks
Felix Kramer, Carl D. Modes
Recent work on self-organized remodeling of vasculature in slime-mold, leaf venation systems and vessel systems in vertebrates has put forward a plethora of potential adaptation me…
Limited Resources Induce Bistability in Microtubule Length Regulation
Matthias Rank, Aniruddha Mitra, Louis Reese +2
The availability of protein is an important factor for the determination of the size of the mitotic spindle. Involved in spindle-size regulation is kinesin-8, a molecular motor and…
The 2015 super-resolution microscopy roadmap
Stefan Hell, Steffen Sahl, Mark Bates +24
Far-field optical microscopy using focused light is an important tool in a number of scientific disciplines including chemical, (bio)physical and biomedical research, particularly…
Biobeam - Rigorous wave-optical simulations of light-sheet microscopy
Martin Weigert, Eugene W. Myers, Moritz Kreysing
Sample-induced image-degradation remains an intricate wave-optical problem in light-sheet microscopy. Here we present biobeam, an open-source software package that enables to simul…
Active dynamics of tissue shear flow
Marko Popović, Amitabha Nandi, Matthias Merkel +4
We present a hydrodynamic theory to describe shear flows in developing epithelial tissues. We introduce hydrodynamic fields corresponding to state properties of constituent cells a…
Stochastic resetting in backtrack recovery by RNA polymerases
Édgar Roldán, Ana Lisica, Daniel Sánchez-Taltavull +1
Transcription is a key process in gene expression, in which RNA polymerases produce a complementary RNA copy from a DNA template. RNA polymerization is frequently interrupted by ba…
Growth and Division of Active Droplets: A Model for Protocells
David Zwicker, Rabea Seyboldt, Christoph A. Weber +2
It has been proposed that during the early steps in the origin of life, small droplets could have formed via the segregation of molecules from complex mixtures by phase separation.…
Model for probing membrane-cortex adhesion by micropipette aspiration and fluctuation spectroscopy
Ricard Alert, Jaume Casademunt, Jan Brugués +1
We propose a model for membrane-cortex adhesion which couples membrane deformations, hydrodynamics and kinetics of membrane-cortex ligands. In its simplest form, the model gives ex…
Determining physical properties of the cell cortex
A. Saha, M. Nishikawa, M. Behrndt +3
Actin and myosin assemble into a thin layer of a highly dynamic network underneath the membrane of eukaryotic cells. This network generates the forces that drive cell and tissue-sc…
Motor regulation results in distal forces that bend partially disintegrated Chlamydomonas axonemes into circular arcs
V. Mukundan, P. Sartori, V. F. Geyer +2
The bending of cilia and flagella is driven by forces generated by dynein motor proteins. These forces slide adjacent microtubule doublets within the axoneme, the motile cytoskelet…
Thin Films of Chiral Motors
Maria Strempel, Sebastian Fürthauer, Stephan W. Grill +1
Hydrodynamic flows in biological systems are often generated by active chiral processes near or on surfaces. Important examples are beating cilia, force generation in actomyosin ne…
Mobility induces global synchronization of oscillators in periodic extended systems
Fernando Peruani, Ernesto M. Nicola, Luis G. Morelli
We study synchronization of locally coupled noisy phase oscillators which move diffusively in a one-dimensional ring. Together with the disordered and the globally synchronized sta…
Brownian Motion after Einstein: Some new applications and new experiments
David Selmeczi, Simon F. Tolic-Norrelykke, Erik Schaeffer +5
The first half of this chapter describes the development in mathematical models of Brownian motion after Einstein's seminal papers and current applications to optical tweezers. Thi…
Calibration of optical tweezers with positional detection in the back-focal-plane
Simon F. Tolic-Norrelykke, Erik Schaeffer, Jonathon Howard +3
We explain and demonstrate a new method of force- and position-calibration for optical tweezers with back-focal-plane photo detection. The method combines power spectral measuremen…
