Coexistence of patterned phases in chemically active multicomponent mixtures
Chengjie Luo, Yicheng Qiang, Guido L. A. Kusters +1
Chemically active mixtures exhibit complex patterns that emerge from the interplay of physical interactions and reactions among components. Individually, these two processes are we…
Advection selects pattern in multistable emulsions of active droplets
Stefan Köstler, Yicheng Qiang, Guido Kusters +1
Controlling the size of droplets, for example in biological cells, is challenging because large droplets typically outcompete smaller droplets due to surface tension. This coarseni…
Roadmap for Condensates in Cell Biology
Dilimulati Aierken, Sebastian Aland, Stefano Bo +38
Biomolecular condensates govern essential cellular processes yet elude description by traditional equilibrium models. This roadmap, distilled from structured discussions at a works…
Size control guidelines for chemically active droplets
Guido Kusters, David Zwicker
Biological cells and synthetic analogues use liquid-liquid phase separation to dynamically compartmentalize their environment for various applications. In many cases, multiple drop…
