Statistical signatures of microorganism motility under environmental stress
Luiza Treichel Mossi, Nicole Mazzitelli Narvaz, Larissa da Silva Bento +6
The motility of microorganisms provides a natural framework for studying active matter and its response to environmental perturbations. We experimentally investigate the trajectori…
Benchmarking the flow of epithelial cell monolayer with self-aligning deformable active membranes
Marcos Pasa, Carine P. Beatrici, François Graner +2
Collective cell migration emerges from the interplay between motility, deformability and mechanical interactions, yet incorporating these ingredients into computationally efficient…
Stress tensor field and mesoscopic stresses in the vertex model for tissues
Paulo C. Godolphim, Leonardo G. Brunnet, Rodrigo Soto
Mechanical stresses are fundamental regulators in biological tissues, where the vertex model (VM) is pivotal for theoretical and force-inference studies. Yet, no uniform expression…
Probing wetting properties with self-propelled droplets
Bernardo Boatini, Cristina Gavazzoni, Leonardo Gregory Brunnet +1
Wetting phenomena are relevant in several technological applications, particularly those involving hydrophobic or hydrophilic surfaces. Many substrates support multiple wetting sta…
Collective ballistic motion explains fast aggregation in adhesive active matter
Emanuel F. Teixeira, Pablo de Castro, Carine P. Beatrici +2
Inspired by motile cells in tissue formation, we find that active systems of self-aligning adhesive particles undergo ballistic aggregation through a flocking transition. This kine…
Parameter degeneracy in the vertex model for tissues
Paulo C. Godolphim, Leonardo G. Brunnet, Rodrigo Soto
The vertex model with homogeneous cell properties is known to exhibit a parameter degeneracy in which the system's dynamics is independent of the target area. Here, we show, for th…
