Active morphogenesis of patterned epithelial shells
Diana Khoromskaia, Guillaume Salbreux
Shape transformations of epithelial tissues in three dimensions, which are crucial for embryonic development or in vitro organoid growth, can result from active forces generated wi…

Vortex formation and dynamics of defects in shells of active nematics
Diana Khoromskaia, Gareth P. Alexander
We present a hydrodynamic model for a thin spherical shell of active nematic liquid crystal with an arbitrary configuration of defects. The active flows generated by defects in the…

Motility of active fluid drops on surfaces
Diana Khoromskaia, Gareth P. Alexander
Drops of active liquid crystal have recently shown the ability to self-propel, which was associated with topological defects in the orientation of active filaments [Sanchez {\em et…
