Theory of Wetting Dynamics with Surface Binding
Xueping Zhao, Susanne Liese, Alf Honigmann +2
Biomolecules, such as proteins and RNAs, can phase separate in the cytoplasm of cells to form biomolecular condensates. Such condensates are liquid-like droplets that can wet biolo…

Chemically Active Wetting
Susanne Liese, Xueping Zhao, Christoph A. Weber +1
Wetting of liquid droplets on passive surfaces is ubiquitous in our daily lives, and the governing physical laws are well-understood. When surfaces become active, however, the gove…

A simulation method for the wetting dynamics of liquid droplets on deformable membranes
Marcel Mokbel, Dominic Mokbel, Susanne Liese +2
Biological cells utilize membranes and liquid-like droplets, known as biomolecular condensates, to structure their interior. The interaction of droplets and membranes, despite bein…
