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…
Emergence of active nematic behaviour in monolayers of isotropic cells
Romain Mueller, Julia Yeomans, Amin Doostmohammadi
There is now growing evidence of the emergence and biological functionality of liquid crystal features, including nematic order and topological defects, in cellular tissues. Howeve…
