Wolfram Pönisch, Christoph A. Weber, Vasily Zaburdaev
Many bacteria rely on active cell appendages, such as type IV pili, to move over substrates and interact with neighboring cells. Here, we study the motion of individual cells and b…
Spatial control of irreversible protein aggregation
Christoph A. Weber, Thomas C. T. Michaels, L. Mahadevan
Liquid cellular compartments spatially segregate from the cytoplasm and can regulate aberrant protein aggregation, a process linked to several medical conditions, including Alzheim…
Physics of Active Emulsions
Christoph A. Weber, David Zwicker, Frank Jülicher +1
Phase separating systems that are maintained away from thermodynamic equilibrium via molecular processes represent a class of active systems, which we call active emulsions. These…
