Active elastic theory of self-aligning solids
Sander C. Kammeraat, Silke Henkes
Active disordered solids including dense human crowds and epithelial cells under confinement exhibit striking system-scale oscillatory spatiotemporal patterns. These are linked to…
Exotic rheology of materials with active rearrangements
Aondoyima Ioratim-Uba, Tanniemola B. Liverpool, Silke Henkes
The flow of biological tissues during development is controlled through the active stresses generated by cells interacting with their mechanical environment in the tissue. Many dev…
Correlated cell movements drive epithelial finger formation
Sander C. Kammeraat, Yann-Edwin Keta, Paul Appleton +5
Epithelia form protective barriers in multicellular organisms. To maintain homeostasis, they must be able to regenerate and heal damaged areas. This occurs through collective cell…
Colloidal Pivots Enable Brownian Metamaterials and Machines
Julio Melio, Martin van Hecke, Silke E. Henkes +1
Biological machines harness targeted deformations that can be actuated by Brownian fluctuations. However, while synthetic micromachines can similarly leverage targeted deformations…
Long-range order in two-dimensional systems with fluctuating active stresses
Yann-Edwin Keta, Silke Henkes
In two-dimensional tissues, such as developing germ layers, pair-wise forces (or active stresses) arise from the contractile activity of the cytoskeleton, with dissipation provided…
Emergent Mesoscale Correlations in Active Solids with Noisy Chiral Dynamics
Amir Shee, Silke Henkes, Cristián Huepe
We present the linear response theory for an elastic solid composed of active Brownian particles with intrinsic individual chirality, deriving both a normal mode formulation and a…
