Mixtures of self-propelled particles interacting with asymmetric obstacles
Mauricio Rojas-Vega, Pablo de Castro, Rodrigo Soto
In the presence of an obstacle, active particles condensate into a surface "wetting" layer due to persistent motion. If the obstacle is asymmetric, a rectification current arises i…
Diversity of self-propulsion speeds reduces motility-induced clustering in confined active matter
Pablo de Castro, Francisco M. Rocha, Saulo Diles +2
Self-propelled swimmers such as bacteria agglomerate into clusters as a result of their persistent motion. In 1D, those clusters do not coalesce macroscopically and the stationary…
Modelling of active contraction pulses in epithelial cells using the vertex model
Fernanda Pérez-Verdugo, Germán Reig, Mauricio Cerda +2
Several models have been proposed to describe the dynamics of epithelial tissues undergoing morphogenetic changes driven by apical constriction pulses, which differ in where the co…
