Dynamic clustering and re-dispersion in concentrated colloid-active gel composites
G. Foffano, J. S. Lintuvuori, K. Stratford +2
We study the dynamics of quasi-two-dimensional concentrated suspensions of colloidal particles in active gels by computer simulations. Remarkably, we find that activity induces a d…
The dynamics of filament assembly define cytoskeletal network morphology
Giulia Foffano, Nicolas Levernier, Martin Lenz
The actin cytoskeleton is a key component in the machinery of eukaryotic cells, and it selfassembles out of equilibrium into a wide variety of biologically crucial structures. Whil…
Facilitated diffusion on confined DNA
G. Foffano, D. Marenduzzo, E. Orlandini
In living cells, proteins combine 3D bulk diffusion and 1D sliding along the DNA to reach a target faster. This process is known as facilitated diffusion, and we investigate its dy…
Bulk rheology and microrheology of active fluids
G. Foffano, J. S. Lintuvuori, A. N. Morozov +3
We simulate macroscopic shear experiments in active nematics and compare them with microrheology simulations where a spherical probe particle is dragged through an active fluid. In…
Colloids in active fluids: Anomalous micro-rheology and negative drag
G. Foffano, J. S. Lintuvuori, K. Stratford +2
We simulate an experiment in which a colloidal probe is pulled through an active nematic fluid. We find that the drag on the particle is non-Stokesian (not proportional to its radi…
