Optimal Translocation of Living \& Active Filaments in Confinement
Marin Vatin, Rosa Sinaasappel, Renske Kamping +3
Active filament translocation through confined spaces is central to processes ranging from DNA transport through nanopores to cytoskeletal dynamics in cell migration. Here, we use…

Locomotion of Active Polymerlike Worms in Porous Media
Rosa Sinaasappel, Mohammad Fazelzadeh, Twan Hooijschuur +3
We investigate the locomotion of thin, living T. tubifex worms, which display active polymerlike behavior, within quasi-2D arrays of cylindrical pillars, examining varying spatial…
