Cargo size limits and forces of cell-driven microtransport
Setareh Sharifi Panah, Robert Großmann, Valentino Lepro +1
The integration of motile cells into biohybrid microrobots offers unique properties such as sensitive responses to external stimuli, resilience, and intrinsic energy supply. Here w…
A minimal physical model for curvotaxis driven by curved protein complexes at the cell's leading edge
Raj Kumar Sadhu, Marine Luciano, Wang Xi +12
Cells often migrate on curved surfaces inside the body, such as curved tissues, blood vessels or highly curved protrusions of other cells. Recent \textit{in-vitro} experiments prov…
Spontaneous transitions between amoeboid and keratocyte-like modes of migration
T. Moldenhawer, E. Moreno, D. Schindler +5
The motility of adherent eukaryotic cells is driven by the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton. Despite the common force-generating actin machinery, different cell types often show…
Biohybrid active matter -- the emergent properties of cell-mediated microtransport
Valentino Lepro, Robert Großmann, Oliver Nagel +4
As society paves its way towards device miniaturization and precision medicine, micro-scale actuation and guided transport become increasingly prominent research fields with high i…
A novel approach to chemotaxis: active particles guided by internal clocks
Luis Gómez Nava, Robert Großmann, Marius Hintsche +2
Motivated by the observation of non-exponential run-time distributions of bacterial swimmers, we propose a minimal phenomenological model for taxis of active particles whose motion…
Statistical parameter inference of bacterial swimming strategies
Maximilian Seyrich, Zahra Alirezaeizanjani, Carsten Beta +1
We provide a detailed stochastic description of the swimming motion of an E.coli bacterium in two dimension, where we resolve tumble events in time. For this purpose, we set up two…
