Inverse design of self-folding 3D shells
Diogo E. P. Pinto, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Petr Šulc +1
Self-folding is an emerging paradigm for the inverse design of three-dimensional structures. While most efforts have concentrated on the shape of the net, our approach introduces a…
Design strategies for the self-assembly of polyhedral shells
Diogo E. P. Pinto, Petr Sulc, Francesco Sciortino +1
The control over the self-assembly of complex structures is a long-standing challenge of material science, especially at the colloidal scale, as the desired assembly pathway is oft…
Substrate disorder promotes cell motility in confluent tissues
Diogo E. P. Pinto, Margarida M. Telo da Gama, Nuno A. M. Araujo
In vivo and in vitro cells rely on the support of an underlying biocompatible substrate, such as the extracellular matrix or a culture substrate, to spread and proliferate. The mec…
Hierarchical structure of the energy landscape in the Voronoi model of dense tissue
D. E. P. Pinto, D. M. Sussman, M. M. Telo da Gama +1
The Voronoi model is a popular tool for studying confluent living tissues. It exhibits an anomalous glassy behavior even at very low temperatures or weak active self-propulsion, an…
The cell adaptation time sets a minimum length scale for patterned substrates
Diogo E. P. Pinto, Gonca Erdemci-Tandogan, M. Lisa Manning +1
The structure and dynamics of tissue cultures depend strongly on the physical and chemical properties of the underlying substrate. Inspired by previous advances in the context of i…
Random Sequential Adsorption on mobile patches
Diogo E. P. Pinto, Nuno A. M. Araujo
An extension of the Random Sequential Adsorption (RSA) model has been proposed recently, motivated by the coverage of oil droplets by DNA-functionalized colloidal particles. Partic…
Kinetic control of the coverage of oil droplets by DNA-functionalised colloids
Darshana Joshi, Dylan Bargteil, Alessio Caciagli +7
We report a study of reversible adsorption of DNA-coated colloids on complementary functionalized oil droplets. We show that it is possible to control the surface coverage of oil d…
