Internal geometries regulate the symmetry of defect configurations in cell populations confined to domains with a negative Euler characteristic
Mina Kamao, Hiroyuki Miyoshi, Takaaki Nara +1
Nematic order of confined cell populations plays an important role in determining cell alignment and stable configurations of topological defects, which are related to various biom…

Free energy formulas for confined nematic liquid crystals based on analogies with Kirchhoff-Routh theory in vortex dynamics
Hiroyuki Miyoshi, Hiroki Miyazako, Takaaki Nara
Active nematics are influenced by alignment angle singularities called topological defects. The localization of these defects is of major interest for biological applications. The…
