Learning a conserved mechanism for early neuroectoderm morphogenesis
Matthew Lefebvre, Jonathan Colen, Nikolas Claussen +6
Morphogenesis is the process whereby the body of an organism develops its target shape. The morphogen BMP is known to play a conserved role across bilaterian organisms in determini…
A Geometric Tension Dynamics Model of Epithelial Convergent Extension
Nikolas H. Claussen, Fridtjof Brauns, Boris I. Shraiman
Convergent extension of epithelial tissue is a key motif of animal morphogenesis. On a coarse scale, cell motion resembles laminar fluid flow; yet in contrast to a fluid, epithelia…
Patterning of morphogenetic anisotropy fields
Zihang Wang, M. Cristina Marchetti, Fridtjof Brauns
Orientational order, encoded in anisotropic fields, plays an important role during the development of an organism. A striking example of this is the freshwater polyp Hydra, where t…
Bridging scales in a multiscale pattern-forming system
Laeschkir Würthner, Fridtjof Brauns, Grzegorz Pawlik +4
Self-organized pattern formation is vital for many biological processes. Reaction-diffusion models have advanced our understanding of how biological systems develop spatial structu…
Length Regulation Drives Self-Organization in Filament-Motor Mixtures
Moritz Striebel, Fridtjof Brauns, Erwin Frey
Cytoskeletal networks form complex intracellular structures. Here we investigate a minimal model for filament-motor mixtures in which motors act as depolymerases and thereby regula…
Self-organisation of Protein Patterns
Erwin Frey, Fridtjof Brauns
These notes are an account of a series of lectures given at the Les Houches Summer School "Active Matter and Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics" during August and September 2018.
Cytosolic flow induced symmetry breaking in a conceptual polarity model
Manon C Wigbers, Fridtjof Brauns, Ching Yee Leung +1
Important cellular processes, such as cell motility and cell division, are coordinated by cell polarity, which is determined by the non-uniform distribution of certain proteins. Su…
Pattern localization to a domain edge
Manon C. Wigbers, Fridtjof Brauns, Tobias Hermann +1
The formation of protein patterns inside cells is generically described by reaction-diffusion models. The study of such systems goes back to Turing, who showed how patterns can eme…
Self-organization principles of intracellular pattern formation
Jacob Halatek, Fridtjof Brauns, Erwin Frey
Dynamic patterning of specific proteins is essential for the spatiotemporal regulation of many important intracellular processes in procaryotes, eucaryotes, and multicellular organ…
