Mesoscale flows in active baths dictate the dynamics of semi-flexible filaments
Bipul Biswas, Devadyouti Das, Manasa Kandula +1
Semi-flexible filaments in living systems are constantly driven by active forces that often organize into mesoscale coherent flows. Although theory and simulations predict rich fil…

Corkscrew motion of Trypanosoma brucei is driven by helical beating of the flagellum and facilitated by its bent shape
Sizhe Cheng, Devadyouti Das, Mykhaylo Barchuk +4
In the pathogenic parasite Trypanosoma brucei, a laterally attached flagellum drives rapid deformation of the complex cell body, producing puzzling dynamics. High-speed defocusing…
