Active waves from non-reciprocity and cytoplasmic exchange
Jason R. Picardo, V. Jemseena, K. Vijay Kumar
Pattern formation in active biological matter typically arises from the feedback between chemical concentration fields and mechanical stresses. The actomyosin cortex of cells is an…
Influence of boundary geometry on active patterns
Jigyasa Watwani, Sakshi Pahujani, V Jemseena +2
Mechanochemical patterns arising in the actomyosin cortex drive many cellular processes. Here we consider a hydrodynamic model for the actomyosin cortex of cells and study the sens…
Minimal model of cellular symmetry breaking
Alexander Mietke, V. Jemseena, K. Vijay Kumar +2
The cell cortex, a thin film of active material assembled below the cell membrane, plays a key role in cellular symmetry breaking processes such as cell polarity establishment and…
Steady state, relaxation and first-passage properties of a run-and-tumble particle in one-dimension
Kanaya Malakar, V. Jemseena, Anupam Kundu +5
We investigate the motion of a run-and-tumble particle (RTP) in one dimension. We find the exact probability distribution of the particle with and without diffusion on the infinite…
Effects of aging in catastrophe on the steady state and dynamics of a microtubule population
V. Jemseena, Manoj Gopalakrishnan
Several independent observations have suggested that catastrophe transition in microtubules is not a first-order process, as is usually assumed. Recent {\it in vitro} observations…
Microtubule catastrophe from protofilament dynamics
Jemseena V., Manoj Gopalakrishnan
The disappearance of the guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-tubulin cap is widely believed to be the forerunner event for the growth-shrinkage transition (`catastrophe') in microtubule f…
