Density-polarity coupling in confined active polar films: asters, spirals, and biphasic orientational phases
Mathieu Dedenon, Claire A. Dessalles, Pau Guillamat +3
Topological defects in active polar fluids can organise spontaneous flows and influence macroscopic density patterns. Both of them play, for example, an important role during anima…
Integer topological defects of cell monolayers -- mechanics and flows
Carles Blanch-Mercader, Pau Guillamat, Aurélien Roux +1
Monolayers of anisotropic cells exhibit long-ranged orientational order and topological defects. During the development of organisms, orientational order often influences morphogen…
Quantifying material properties of cell monolayers by analyzing integer topological defects
Carles Blanch-Mercader, Pau Guillamat, Aurélien Roux +1
In developing organisms, internal cellular processes generate mechanical stresses at the tissue scale. The resulting deformations depend on the material properties of the tissue, w…
