Passive memory reshapes active persistence

Ivan Di Terlizzi, Lara Koehler, John D. Treado

Many active systems move in complex environments whose mechanical response is slow and history dependent. To address this regime, we study the collective dynamics of self-sustained…

Flow-wave coupling synchronizes oscillations in growing active matter

Lara Koehler, Elissavet Sandaltzopoulou, Frank Jülicher +1

Oscillatory biochemical signals and mechanical forces must coordinate robustly during development, yet the principles governing their mutual coupling remain poorly understood. In s…

Topological defect engineering enables size and shape control in self-assembly

Lara Koehler, Markus Eder, Vincent Ouazan-Reboul +7

The self-assembly of complex structures from engineered subunits is a major goal of nanotechnology, but controlling their size becomes increasingly difficult in larger assemblies.…

Transient contacts between filaments impart its elasticity to branched actin

Mehdi Bouzid, Cesar Valencia Gallardo, Magdalena Kopec +5

Branched actin networks exert pushing forces in eukaryotic cells, and adapt their stiffness to their environment. The physical basis for their mechanics and adaptability is however…

How do particles with complex interactions self-assemble?

Lara Koehler, Pierre Ronceray, Martin Lenz

In living cells, proteins self-assemble into large functional structures based on specific interactions between molecularly complex patches. Due to this complexity, protein self-as…
