Adhesion as a trigger of droplet polarization in flowing emulsions
Iaroslava Golovkova, Lorraine Montel, Franck Pan +4
Tissues are subjected to large external forces and undergo global deformations during morphogenesis. We use synthetic analogues of tissues to study the impact of cell-cell adhesion…
A bending fluctuation-based mechanism for particle detection by ciliated structures
Jean-Baptiste Thomazo, Benjamin Le Révérend, Léa-Laetitia Pontani +2
To mimic the mechanical response of passive biological cilia in complex fluids, we study the bending dynamics of an anchored elastic fiber submitted to a dilute granular suspension…
Diffusion through nanopores in connected lipid bilayer networks
Manon Valet, Léa-Laetitia Pontani, Raphaël Voituriez +2
A biomimetic model of cell-cell communication was developed to probe the passive molecular transport across ion channels inserted in synthetic lipid bilayers formed between contact…
Quasi-static microdroplet production in a capillary trap
M. Valet, L. -L. Pontani, A. M. Prevost +1
We have developed a method to produce aqueous microdroplets in an oil phase, based on the periodic extraction of a pending droplet across the oil/air interface. This interface form…
Jamming phase diagram of athermal emulsions with short-range attraction
Ivane Jorjadze, Lea-Laetitia Pontani, Katherine Newhall +1
Using confocal microscopy we investigate the effect of attraction on the packing of polydisperse emulsions under gravity. We find that the distributions of neighbors, coordination…
