Flow, dynamics and active fracture in hydraulic multicellular systems

John D. Treado, Arthur Boutillon, Frank Jülicher +1

From interstitial space to luminal cavities, fluid pressure and flow can remodel, reshape and even redefine a biological tissue. Fluids can either govern or react to mechanical int…

Control of morphology and topology in a lattice model of branching morphogenesis

Christian Hanauer, Frank Jülicher, Efe Ilker

We present a lattice model for morphogen-controlled branching morphogenesis which combines ideas and concepts from non-equilibrium physics and developmental biology. In this model,…

Continuous Game of Life: cell emergence and self-organization at the edge of growth

Alexandre Guillet, Frank Jülicher

Conway's Game of Life shows that simple rules can generate a rich diversity of emerging structures. This cellular automaton has been translated to continuous space by Rafler (2011)…

Flow-wave coupling synchronizes oscillations in growing active matter

Lara Koehler, Elissavet Sandaltzopoulou, Frank Jülicher +1

Oscillatory biochemical signals and mechanical forces must coordinate robustly during development, yet the principles governing their mutual coupling remain poorly understood. In s…

Fluid flow and spatiotemporal chaos in chemically active emulsions

Charu Datt, Jonathan Bauermann, Nazmi Burak Budanur +1

We study phase-separating fluid mixtures as they demix in the presence of chemical reactions that maintain them away from thermodynamic equilibrium. We show that in such chemically…

Active Loop Extrusion guides DNA-Protein Condensation

Ryota Takaki, Yahor Savich, Jan Brugués +1

The spatial organization of DNA involves DNA loop extrusion and the formation of protein-DNA condensates. While the significance of each process is increasingly recognized, their i…
