Phase coexistence and nucleation of aging condensates
Yicheng Qiang, Chengjie Luo, David Zwicker
Biomolecular condensates form by phase separation and often age over time by transitioning from liquid-like droplets to solid-like states. To capture the fundamental behavior of ag…
Fluctuating chemically active droplets
Guido L. A. Kusters, Noah Ziethen, Michael E. Cates +1
We study size fluctuations of chemically active droplets in the regime of weak reactions and strong phase separation. By combining a thin-interface model for the deterministic drop…
Speed up of passive tracers in mixtures with active chemical reactions
Filipe C. Thewes, Chengjie Luo, David Zwicker
Diffusivity of passive tracers in complex mixtures is widely relevant for industrial applications and for probing biological systems. Interactions with the surrounding medium typic…
Phase diagram morphology shapes droplet propulsion in chemical gradients
Stefan Köstler, Malcolm Steen, David Zwicker
Droplets in complex environments often encounter compositional gradients that drive their propulsion. For example, surfactant gradients induce surface-tension-driven propulsion via…
Oscillating concentrations suppress condensate coarsening
Mathias S. Heltberg, Lukas H. Kristensen, Mogens H. Jensen +1
Living cells utilize condensates to spatially concentrate molecules in response to dynamic signals. For instance, nuclear condensates respond to oscillations in transcription facto…
Intermediate physical interactions induce spatiotemporal dynamics in Turing patterns
Cathelijne ter Burg, David Zwicker
Turing patterns are a central paradigm for describing spatial patterns in nature. The corresponding theory of reaction-diffusion dynamics combines ideal diffusion with nonlinear re…
Roadmap for Condensates in Cell Biology
Dilimulati Aierken, Sebastian Aland, Stefano Bo +38
Biomolecular condensates govern essential cellular processes yet elude description by traditional equilibrium models. This roadmap, distilled from structured discussions at a works…
