Bridging microscopic cell dynamics to nematohydrodynamics of cell monolayers
Aleksandra Ardaševa, Romain Mueller, Amin Doostmohammadi
It is increasingly being realized that liquid-crystalline features can play an important role in the properties and dynamics of cell monolayers. Here, we present a cell-based model…
Fluctuation-induced dynamics of nematic topological defects
Lasse Bonn, Aleksandra Ardaseva, Romain Mueller +2
Topological defects are increasingly being identified in various biological systems, where their characteristic flow fields and stress patterns are associated with continuous activ…
Half-integer and full-integer topological defects in polar active matter: Emergence, crossover, and coexistence
Aboutaleb Amiri, Romain Mueller, Amin Doostmohammadi
The presence and significance of active topological defects is increasingly realised in diverse biological and biomimetic systems. We introduce a continuum model of polar active ma…
Phase field models of active matter
Romain Mueller, Amin Doostmohammadi
We present an overview of phase field modeling of active matter systems as a tool for capturing various aspects of complex and active interfaces. We first describe how interfaces b…
Active Inter-cellular Forces in Collective Cell Motility
Guanming Zhang, Romain Mueller, Amin Doostmohammadi +1
The collective behaviour of confluent cell sheets is strongly influenced both by polar forces, arising through cytoskeletal propulsion and by active inter-cellular forces, which ar…
Active Matter Invasion
Felix Kempf, Romain Mueller, Erwin Frey +2
Biological active materials such as bacterial biofilms and eukaryotic cells thrive in confined micro-spaces. Here, we show through numerical simulations that confinement can serve…
