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…
Front speed and pattern selection of a propagating chemical front in an active fluid
Clara del Junco, André Estevez-Torres, Ananyo Maitra
Spontaneous pattern formation in living systems is driven by reaction-diffusion chemistry and active mechanics. The feedback between chemical and mechanical forces is often essenti…
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…
High-throughput and long-term observation of compartmentalized biochemical oscillators
Koshi Hasatani, Mathieu Leocmach, Anthony J. Genot +3
We report the splitting of an oscillating DNA circuit into droplets with picoliter volumes. Upon incubation at constant temperature, the droplets display sustained oscil…
