Motility induced phase separation of deformable cells
Austin Hopkins, Benjamin Loewe, Michael Chiang +2
Using a multi-phase field model, we examine how particle deformability, which is a proxy for cell stiffness, affects motility induced phase separation (MIPS). We show that purely r…

Yield Stress and Compliance in Active Cell Monolayers
Austin Hopkins, Michael Chiang, Benjamin Loewe +2
The rheology of biological tissue plays an important role in many processes, from organ formation to cancer invasion. Here, we use a multi-phase field model of motile cells to simu…

Chemotaxis in uncertain environments: hedging bets with multiple receptor types
Austin Hopkins, Brian A. Camley
Eukaryotic cells are able to sense chemical gradients in a wide range of environments. We show that, if a cell is exposed to a highly variable environment, it may gain chemotactic…
