A generic self-stabilization mechanism for biomolecular adhesions under load
Andrea Braeutigam, Ahmet Nihat Simsek, Gerhard Gompper +1
Mechanical loading generally weakens adhesive structures and eventually leads to their rupture. However, biological systems can adapt to loads by strengthening adhesions, which is…

Non-equilibrium dynamics of bacterial colonies -- growth, active fluctuations, segregation, adhesion, and invasion
Kai Zhou, Marc Hennes, Berenike Maier +2
Colonies of bacteria endowed with a pili-based self-propulsion machinery are ideal models for investigating the structure and dynamics of active many-particle systems. We study Nei…
