Phase separation with non-local interactions
Filipe C. Thewes, Yicheng Qiang, Oliver W. Paulin +1
Phase separation in complex systems is a ubiquitous phenomenon. While simple theories predict coarsening until only macroscopically large phases remain, concrete models often exhib…
Dynamics of phase separation in non-local elastic networks
Oliver W. Paulin, Yicheng Qiang, David Zwicker
Phase separation of a liquid mixture embedded within an elastic network is relevant to a wide range of natural and industrial systems, including biomolecular condensates interactin…
Active viscoelastic condensates provide controllable mechanical anchor points
Oliver W. Paulin, Júlia Garcia-Baucells, Luise Zieger +3
Many biological materials must couple mechanical strength with the ability to rapidly self-assemble at a specific location. In particular, biomolecular condensates readily self-ass…
Physics of droplet regulation in biological cells
David Zwicker, Oliver W. Paulin, Cathelijne ter Burg
Droplet formation has emerged as an essential concept for the spatiotemporal organisation of biomolecules in cells. However, classical descriptions of droplet dynamics based on pas…
