A theory of ordering of elongated and curved proteins on membranes driven by density and curvature
Caterina Tozzi, Nikhil Walani, Anabel-Lise Le Roux +2
Cell membranes interact with a myriad of curvature-active proteins that control membrane morphology and are responsible for mechanosensation and mechanotransduction. Some of these…
Swimming Euglena respond to confinement with a behavioural change enabling effective crawling
Giovanni Noselli, Alfred Beran, Marino Arroyo +1
Some euglenids, a family of aquatic unicellular organisms, can develop highly concerted, large-amplitude peristaltic body deformations. This remarkable behaviour has been known for…
Smart helical structures inspired by the pellicle of euglenids
Giovanni Noselli, Marino Arroyo, Antonio DeSimone
This paper deals with a concept for a reconfigurable structure bio-inspired by the cell wall architecture of euglenids, a family of unicellular protists, and based on the relative…
Mechanics of axisymmetric sheets of interlocking and slidable rods
D. Riccobelli, G. Noselli, M. Arroyo +1
In this work, we study the mechanics of metamaterial sheets inspired by the pellicle of Euglenids. They are composed of interlocking elastic rods which can freely slide along their…
Approximation of tensor fields on surfaces of arbitrary topology based on local Monge parametrizations
Alejandro Torres-Sánchez, Daniel Santos-Oliván, Marino Arroyo
We introduce a new method, the Local Monge Parametrizations (LMP) method, to approximate tensor fields on general surfaces given by a collection of local parametrizations, e.g.~as…
Modelling fluid deformable surfaces with an emphasis on biological interfaces
Alejandro Torres-Sánchez, Daniel Millán, Marino Arroyo
Fluid deformable surfaces are ubiquitous in cell and tissue biology, including lipid bilayers, the actomyosin cortex, or epithelial cell sheets. These interfaces exhibit a complex…
