Chromatin remodeling due to transient-link-and-pass activity enhances subnuclear dynamics
Rakesh Das, Takahiro Sakaue, G. V. Shivashankar +2
Spatiotemporal coordination of chromatin and subnuclear compartments is crucial for cells. Numerous enzymes act inside nucleus\textemdash some of those transiently link and pass tw…
Electrohydraulic activity of biological cells
Marko Popović, Jacques Prost, Frank Jülicher
Fluid pumping and the generation of electric current by living tissues are required during morphogenetic processes and for maintainance of homeostasis. How these flows emerge from…
Broken living layers: dislocations in active smectics
Frank Julicher, Jacques Prost, John Toner
We show that dislocations in active 2d smectics with underlying rotational symmetry are always unbound in the presence of noise, meaning the active smectic phase does not exist for…
Active nematic flows on curved surfaces
Samuel Bell, Shao-Zhen Lin, Jean-François Rupprecht +1
Cell monolayers are a central model system to tissue biophysics. In vivo, epithelial tissues are curved on the scale of microns, and curvature's role in the onset of spontaneous ti…
Theory of nematic and polar active fluid surfaces
Guillaume Salbreux, Frank Jülicher, Jacques Prost +1
We derive a fully covariant theory of the hydrodynamics of nematic and polar active surfaces, subjected to internal and external forces and torques. We study the symmetries of pola…
How enzymatic activity is involved in chromatin organization
Rakesh Das, Takahiro Sakaue, G. V. Shivashankar +2
Spatial organization of chromatin plays a critical role in genome regulation. Various types of affinity mediators and enzymes have been attributed to regulate spatial organization…
