Glassy dynamics in active epithelia emerge from an interplay of mechanochemical feedback and crowding
Sindhu Muthukrishnan, Phanindra Dewan, Tanishq Tejaswi +6
Glassy dynamics in active biological cells remain a subject of debate, as cellular activity rarely slows enough for true glassy features to emerge. In this study, we address this p…

Symmetry-protected phases in a 1D active solid with mechanochemical feedback
Soumyadeep Mondal, Phanindra Dewan, Lakshman Santhosh Kumar +1
We present a framework for mechanochemical self-organization in active solids where elasticity is reciprocally coupled to Hopf oscillators. Our model reveals a rich landscape of sy…

Coarsening of topological defects in 2D polar active matter
Soumyadeep Mondal, Pankaj Popli, Sumantra Sarkar
We numerically study the coarsening of topological defects in 2D polar active matter and make several interesting observations and predictions. (i) The long time state is character…
