Dynamic Flow Control Through Active Matter Programming Language
Fan Yang, Shichen Liu, Heun Jin Lee +2
Cells control fluid flows with a spatial and temporal precision that far exceeds the capabilities of current microfluidic technologies. Cells achieve this superior spatio-temporal…
Modeling and mechanical perturbations reveal how spatially regulated anchorage gives rise to spatially distinct mechanics across the mammalian spindle
Pooja Suresh, Vahe Galstyan, Rob Phillips +1
During cell division, the spindle generates force to move chromosomes. In mammals, microtubule bundles called kinetochore-fibers (k-fibers) attach to and segregate chromosomes. To…
The Anthropocene by the Numbers: A Quantitative Snapshot of Humanity's Influence on the Planet
Griffin Chure, Rachel A. Banks, Avi I. Flamholz +6
The presence and action of humans on Earth has exerted a strong influence on the evolution of the planet over the past 10,000 years, the consequences of which are now bec…
Programming Boundary Deformation Patterns in Active Networks
Zijie Qu, Jialong Jiang, Heun Jin Lee +3
Active materials take advantage of their internal sources of energy to self-organize in an automated manner. This feature provides a novel opportunity to design micron-scale machin…
Persistent fluid flows defined by active matter boundaries
Zijie Qu, Dominik Schildknecht, Shahriar Shadkhoo +5
Biological systems achieve precise control over ambient fluids through the self-organization of active protein structures including flagella, cilia, and cytoskeletal networks. In a…
Quantitative clarification of key questions about COVID-19 epidemiology
Yinon M. Bar-On, Ron Sender, Avi I. Flamholz +2
Modeling the spread of COVID-19 is crucial for informing public health policy. All models for COVID-19 epidemiology rely on parameters describing the dynamics of the infection proc…
