Debye-Hückel potential at an interface between two media
Alexander Morozov, Iain Muntz, Job H. J. Thijssen +1
Electrostatic interactions between point charges embedded into interfaces separating dielectric media are omnipresent in soft matter systems and often control their stability. Such…
Kinetic roughening in active interfaces
Francesco Cagnetta, Martin R. Evans, Davide Marenduzzo
The essential features of many interfaces driven out of equilibrium are described by the same equation---the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. How do living interfaces, such as t…
Solid-Liquid Transition of Deformable and Overlapping Active Particles
Benjamin Loewe, Michael Chiang, Davide Marenduzzo +1
Experiments and theory have shown that cell monolayers and epithelial tissues exhibit solid-liquid and glass-liquid transitions. These transitions are biologically relevant to our…
Competition between local erasure and long-range spreading of a single biochemical mark leads to epigenetic bistability
Marco Ancona, Davide Michieletto, Davide Marenduzzo
The mechanism through which cells determine their fate is intimately related to the spreading of certain biochemical (so-called epigenetic) marks along their genome. The mechanisms…
Magnetic Polymer Models for Epigenetics-Driven Chromosome Folding
Davide Colì, Davide Michieletto, Davide Marenduzzo +1
Epigenetics is a driving force of important and ubiquitous phenomena in nature such as cell differentiation or even metamorphosis. Oppositely to its widespread role, understanding…
Nonequilibrium Theory of Epigenomic Microphase Separation in the Cell Nucleus
Davide Michieletto, Davide Colí, Davide Marenduzzo +1
Understanding the spatial organisation of the genome in the cell nucleus is one of the current grand challenges in biophysics. Certain biochemical -- or epigenetic -- marks that ar…
