Prediction and control of geometry-induced nematic order in growing multicellular systems
Lukas Hupe, Jonas Isensee, Ramin Golestanian +1
In densely-packed two-dimensional systems of growing cells, such as rod-shaped bacteria, a number of experimental and numerical studies report distinct patterns of nematic orientat…

Stress anisotropy in confined populations of growing rods
Jonas Isensee, Lukas Hupe, Ramin Golestanian +1
Order and alignment are ubiquitous in growing colonies of rod-shaped bacteria due to the nematic properties of the constituent particles. These effects are the result of the active…
