Boundaries Program Deformation in Isolated Active Networks
Zixiang Lin, Shichen Liu, Shahriar Shadkhoo +9
Cellular structures must organize themselves within strict physical constraints, operating with finite resources and well-defined boundaries. Classical systems demonstrate only pas…
Geometry-Dependent Defect Merging Induces Bifurcated Dynamics in Active Networks
Fan Yang, Shichen Liu, Hao Wang +3
Cytoskeletal networks can repair defects to maintain structural integrity. However, the mechanisms and dynamics of defect merging remain poorly understood. Here we report a geometr…
Force Propagation in Active Cytoskeletal Networks
Shichen Liu, Rosalind Wenshan Pan, Heun Jin Lee +6
In biological systems, molecular-scale forces and motions are pivotal for enabling processes like motility, shape change, and replication. These forces and motions are organized, a…
Dynamic Flow Control Through Active Matter Programming Language
Fan Yang, Shichen Liu, Heun Jin Lee +2
Cells control fluid flows with a spatial and temporal precision that far exceeds the capabilities of current microfluidic technologies. Cells achieve this superior spatio-temporal…
