Chemically Active Liquid Bridges Generate Repulsive Forces
Noah Ziethen, Frieder Johannsen, David Zwicker
Droplets help organize cells by compartmentalizing biomolecules and by mediating mechanical interactions. When bridging two structures, such droplets generate capillary forces, whi…

Heterogeneous Nucleation and Growth of Sessile Chemically Active Droplets
Noah Ziethen, David Zwicker
Droplets are essential for spatially controlling biomolecules in cells. To work properly, cells need to control the emergence and morphology of droplets. On the one hand, driven ch…

Vascular adaptation model from force balance: Physarum polycephalum as a case study
Sophie Marbach, Noah Ziethen, Karen Alim
Understanding vascular adaptation, namely what drives veins to shrink or grow, is key for the self-organization of flow networks and their optimization. From the top-down principle…
