Symmetry-group-protected microfluidics for multiplexed stress-free manipulations
Jeremias Gonzalez, Ajay Gopinathan, Bin Liu
Modern micromanipulation techniques typically involve trapping using electromagnetic, acoustic or flow fields that produce stresses on the trapped particles thereby precluding stre…
Effects of Cytoskeletal Network Mesh Size on Cargo Transport
Nimisha Krishnan, Niranjan Sarpangala, Maria Gamez +2
Intracellular transport of cargoes in the cell is essential for the organization and functioning cells, especially those that are large and elongated. The cytoskeletal networks ins…
Tunable intracellular transport on converging microtubule morphologies
Niranjan Sarpangala, Brooke Randell, Ajay Gopinathan +1
A common type of cytoskeletal morphology involves multiple converging microbutubules with their minus ends collected and stabilized by a microtubule organizing center (MTOC) in the…
Optimal mechanical interactions direct multicellular network formation on elastic substrates
Patrick S. Noerr, Jose E. Zamora Alvarado, Farnaz Golnaraghi +3
Cells self-organize into functional, ordered structures during tissue morphogenesis, a process that is evocative of colloidal self-assembly into engineered soft materials. Understa…
Collective states of active particles with elastic dipolar interactions
Subhaya Bose, Patrick S. Noerr, Ajay Gopinathan +2
Many types of mammalian cells exert active contractile forces and mechanically deform their elastic substrate, to accomplish biological functions such as cell migration. These subs…
Geometric effects induce anomalous size-dependent active transport in structured environments
Pooja Chopra, David Quint, Ajay Gopinathan +1
Variations of transport efficiency in structured environments between distinct individuals in actively self-propelled systems is both hard to study and poorly understood. Here, we…
