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…
