Surface functionalization modulates collective cell behavior at integer topological defects
Prasoon Awasthi, Aniruddh Murali, Ellen Juel Pørtner +2
Living cells establish long-range orientational order through collective alignment, giving rise to topological defects whose functional relevance is increasingly recognized in tiss…
Temperature switchable self-propulsion activity of liquid crystalline microdroplets
Manoj Kumar, Siddharth Sane, Aniruddh Murali +1
We report on a switchable emulsion droplet microswimmer by utilizing a temperature-dependent transition of the droplet phase. The droplets, made from a liquid crystalline (LC) smec…
Cells around the corner
Aniruddh Murali, Prasoon Awasthi, Kirsten Endresen +2
The study of spindle-like cells as nematic liquid crystals has led to remarkable insights in the understanding of tissue organization and morphogenesis. In the characterization of…
