Elastic interactions compete with persistent cell motility to drive durotaxis
Subhaya Bose, Haiqin Wang, Xinpeng Xu +2
The directed migration of cells toward stiffer substrate regions or durotaxis is relevant to tissue development and tumor progression. Here, we introduce a phenomenological model f…
Deep learning-based computational method for soft matter dynamics: Deep Onsager-Machlup method
Zhihao Li, Boyi Zou, Haiqin Wang +3
A deep learning-based computational method is proposed for soft matter dynamics -- the deep Onsager-Machlup method (DOMM). It combines the brute forces of deep neural networks (DNN…
Activity-assisted barrier-crossing of self-propelled colloids over parallel microgrooves
Yan Wen, Zhihao Li, Haiqin Wang +5
We report a systematic study of the dynamics of self-propelled particles (SPPs) over a one-dimensional periodic potential landscape, which is fabricated on a microgroove-patterned…
Spontaneous Bending of Hydra Tissue Fragments Driven by Supracellular Actomyosin Bundles
Jian Su, Haiqin Wang, Zhongyu Yan +1
Hydra tissue fragments excised freshly from Hydra body bend spontaneously to some quasi-stable shape in several minutes. We propose that the spontaneous bending is driven mechanica…
Variational approximation method for the long-range force transmission in biopolymer gels
Haiqin Wang, Xinpeng Xu
The variational principle of minimum free energy (MFEVP) has been widely used in the study of soft matter statics. MFEVP can be used not only to derive equilibrium equations (inclu…
Variational methods and deep Ritz method for active elastic solids
Haiqin Wang, Boyi Zou, Jian Su +2
Variational methods have been widely used in soft matter physics for both static and dynamic problems. These methods are mostly based on two variational principles: the variational…
Onsager's variational principle in active soft matter
Haiqin Wang, Tiezheng Qian, Xinpeng Xu
Onsager's variational principle (OVP) was originally proposed by Lars Onsager in 1931 [L. Onsager, , 1931, , 405]. This fundamental principle provides a very powerf…
Continuum elastic models for force transmissions in biopolymer gels
Haiqin Wang, Xinpeng Xu
We review continuum elastic models for the transmission of both external forces and internal active cellular forces in biopolymer gels, and relate them to recent experiments. Rathe…
