A nonlinear theory for chemotactic fronts of mixed populations
Giulia L. Celora, Marjorie Watts, Carles Falcó +1
Collective migration of heterogeneous cell populations is central to many biological and physiological processes, including development and immune response. Recent experimental and…
Bacterial adhesion to curved surfaces in fluid flow
Edwina F. Yeo, Benjamin J. Walker, Philip Pearce +1
Minimising bacterial surface adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation in industrial and medical settings requires understanding how bacteria are transported and adhere to complex…
Far-field approximations for multi-timescale microswimmers near a boundary
Sara Drummond-Curtis, Mohit P. Dalwadi, Benjamin J. Walker
Hydrodynamic interactions with boundaries can significantly affect the trajectories of microscale swimmers. In simple swimmer models, a common assumption is that swimmer shape rema…
Modelling Intermediate-Current Transitions in Asymmetric-Valence Binary Electrolytes
Georgina C. Ryan, Mohit P. Dalwadi, Ian M. Griffiths
Asymmetric valences in a binary electrolyte can significantly affect the performance of systems such as reverse electrodialysis cells, batteries, and supercapacitors. To generate a…
Theory of adhesion-driven self-organisation in growing tissues
Carles Falcó, Samuel W. S. Johnson, Mohit P. Dalwadi +1
Cell invasion and spatial pattern formation are two distinct manifestations of cellular self-organisation in development, regeneration, and disease. Here, we develop and analyse a…
A multiscale discrete-to-continuum framework for structured population models
Eleonora Agostinelli, Keith L. Chambers, Helen M. Byrne +1
Mathematical models of biological populations commonly use discrete structure classes to capture trait variation among individuals (e.g. age, size, phenotype, intracellular state).…
