Soft yet sharp interfaces in a vertex model of confluent tissue
Daniel M. Sussman, J. M. Schwarz, M. Cristina Marchetti +1
How can dense biological tissue maintain sharp boundaries between coexisting cell populations? We explore this question within a simple vertex model for cells, focusing on the role…
Geometric frustration and solid-solid transitions in model 2D tissue
Michael Moshe, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti
We study the mechanical behavior of two-dimensional cellular tissues by formulating the continuum limit of discrete vertex models based on an energy that penalizes departures from…
Topological Sound and Flocking on Curved Surfaces
Suraj Shankar, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti
Active systems on curved geometries are ubiquitous in the living world. In the presence of curvature orientationally ordered polar flocks are forced to be inhomogeneous, often requ…
Probing the shear viscosity of an active nematic
Pau Guillamat, Jordi Ignés-Mullol, Suraj Shankar +2
In vitro reconstituted active systems, such as the ATP-driven microtubule bundle suspension developed by the Dogic group, provide a fertile testing ground for elucidating the pheno…
