Cell-induced wrinkling patterns on soft substrates
Aleksandra Ardaševa, Varun Venkatesh, Daiki Matsunaga +2
Cells exert traction forces on compliant substrates and can induce surface instabilities that appear as characteristic wrinkling patterns. Here, we develop a mechanical description…

Transport of topological defects in a biphasic mixture of active and passive nematic fluids
KVS Chaithanya, Aleksandra Ardaševa, Oliver J. Meacock +3
Collectively moving cellular systems often contain a proportion of dead cells or non-motile genotypes. When mixed, nematically aligning motile and non-motile agents are known to se…
