Chiral edge currents in confined fibrosarcoma cells
V. Yashunsky, D. J. G. Pearce, C. Blanch-Mercader +3
During metastatic dissemination, streams of cells collectively migrate through a network of narrow channels within the extracellular matrix, before entering into the blood stream.…
Defect-driven shape transitions in elastic active nematic shells
D. J. G. Pearce, S. Gat, G. Livne +2
Active matter is characterized by its ability to induce motion by self-generated stress. In the case of a solid, such motion can lead to shape transformations. The stress-generatin…
Confinement-induced self-organization in growing bacterial colonies
Zhihong You, Daniel J. G. Pearce, Luca Giomi
We investigate the emergence of global alignment in colonies of dividing rod-shaped cells under confinement. Using molecular dynamics simulations and continuous modeling, we demons…
Orientational correlations in active and passive nematic defects
D. J. G. Pearce, J. Nambisan, P. W. Ellis +2
We investigate the emergence of orientational order among +1/2 disclinations in active nematic liquid crystals. Using a combination of theoretical and experimental methods, we show…
