Density and shape govern the dynamical self-organization of active matter on a closed surface
Romain Leroux, Andre Estevez-Torres, Violeta Zilia Marcen Arroyo +5
Morphogenesis emerges from dynamic feedback among geometry, mechanics, and chemistry; however, disentangling these contributions in living systems remains challenging. Here, we foc…
Confinement determines transport of a reaction-diffusion active matter front
Nicolas Lobato-Dauzier, Ananyo Maitra, André Estevez-Torres +1
Couplings between biochemical and mechanical processes have a profound impact on embryonic development. However, in-vitro studies capable of quantifying these interactions have rem…
Crosslinking and depletion determine spatial instabilities in cytoskeletal active matter
Guillaume Sarfati, Ananyo Maitra, Raphael Voituriez +2
Active gels made of cytoskeletal proteins are valuable materials with attractive non-equilibrium properties such as spatial self-organization and self-propulsion. At least four typ…
Tunable corrugated patterns in an active gel sheet
Anis Senoussi, Shunnichi Kashida, Ananyo Maitra +3
Active matter locally converts chemical energy into mechanical work and, for this reason, it provides new mechanisms of pattern formation. In particular, active gels made of protei…
Synthesis and materialization of a reaction-diffusion French flag pattern
Anton Zadorin, Yannick Rondelez, Guillaume Gines +5
During embryo development, patterns of protein concentration appear in response to morphogen gradients. These patterns provide spatial and chemical information that directs the fat…
Programmable reaction-diffusion fronts
Anton S. Zadorin, Yannick Rondelez, Jean-Christophe Galas +1
Morphogenesis is central to biology but remains largely unexplored in chemistry. Reaction-diffusion (RD) mechanisms are, however, essential to understand how shape emerges in the l…
