Electrohydraulic Fields Generated by Active Transport at Tissue Interfaces

Amit Singh Vishen, Ahandeep Manna, Frank Jülicher

Living cells and tissues can generate complex patterns of electric fields and fluid flows which can play important role in physiology. Both, fields and flows are rooted in ion tran…

Edge Currents Shape Condensates in Chiral Active Matter

Boyi Wang, Patrick Pietzonka, Frank Jülicher

Chiral active matter, which breaks both parity symmetry and time-reversal symmetry, is ubiquitous in living systems. Here, we introduce a minimal two-dimensional chiral active latt…

Nonequilibrium noise emerging from broken detailed balance in active gels

Ashot Matevosyan, Frank Jülicher, Ricard Alert

In thermodynamic equilibrium, the fluctuation-dissipation theorem links thermal fluctuations and dissipation. Biological systems, however, are driven out of equilibrium by internal…

Cell proliferation maintains cell area polydispersity in the growing fruit fly wing epithelium

Michael F. Staddon, Natalie A. Dye, Marko Popović +1

Developing epithelial tissues coordinate cell proliferation and mechanical forces to achieve proper size and shape. As epithelial cells tightly adhere together to form the confluen…

Marrying critical oscillators with traveling waves shapes nonlinear sound processing in the cochlea

Henri Ver Hulst, Carles Blanch Mercader, Frank Jülicher +1

The cochlea's capacity to process a broad range of sound intensities has been linked to nonlinear amplification by critical oscillators. However, while the increasing sensitivity o…
