Inheritance Entropy: A Model-Independent Method to Probe the Hereditary Structure of Cell Lineage Trees

Alessandro Allegrezza, Riccardo Beschi, Domenico Caudo +14

Human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) include skeletal stem cells with ground-breaking therapeutic potential. However, BMSC colonies have very heterogeneous in vivo behaviour, due…

Spin-Waves without Spin-Waves: A Case for Soliton Propagation in Starling Flocks

Andrea Cavagna, Guido Cimino, Javier Cristín +10

Collective turns in starling flocks propagate linearly with negligible attenuation, indicating the existence of an underdamped sector in the dispersion relation. Beside granting li…

Lineage topology, replication kinetics and cell cycle synchronization reveal regulated growth dynamics in human bone marrow stromal cell colonies

Alessandro Allegrezza, Riccardo Beschi, Domenico Caudo +14

Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) -- which include skeletal stem cells -- are a promising tool in regenerative medicine. However, their heterogeneous and unpredictable in vivo behav…

The 2024 Motile Active Matter Roadmap

Gerhard Gompper, Howard A. Stone, Christina Kurzthaler +29

Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental aspects of many living and engineering systems. Here, the scale of biological agents covers a wide range, from nanomotors, cytoskelet…

Discrete Laplacian thermostat for flocks and swarms: the fully conserved Inertial Spin Model

Andrea Cavagna, Javier Cristín, Irene Giardina +2

Experiments on bird flocks and midge swarms reveal that these natural systems are well described by an active theory in which conservation laws play a crucial role. By building a s…

From noise on the sites to noise on the links: discretizing the conserved Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in real space

Andrea Cavagna, Javier Cristín, Irene Giardina +1

Numerical analysis of conserved field dynamics has been generally performed with pseudo spectral methods. Finite differences integration, the common procedure for non-conserved fie…
