Effect of inertia on the evasion and pursuit dynamics of prey swarms and the emergence of an optimal mass ratio for the predator-prey arms race
Dipanjan Chakraborty, Arkayan Laha, Rumi De
We show, based on a theoretical model, how inertia plays a pivotal role in the survival dynamics of a prey swarm while chased by a predator. With the varying mass of the prey and p…
Flocking: Influence of Metric Versus Topological Interactions
Vijay Kumar, Rumi De
Flocking is a fascinating phenomenon observed across a wide range of living organisms. We investigate, based on a simple self-propelled particle model, how the emergence of ordered…
Survival chances of a prey swarm: how the cooperative interaction range affects the outcome
Dipanjan Chakraborty, Sanchayan Bhunia, Rumi De
A swarm of preys when attacked by a predator is known to rely on their cooperative interactions to escape. Understanding such interactions of collectively moving preys and the emer…
Aggregation dynamics of active cells on non-adhesive substrate
Debangana Mukhopadhyay, Rumi De
Cellular self-assembly and organization are fundamental steps for the development of biological tissues. In this paper, within the framework of a cellular automata model, we addres…
Stick-Slip Dynamics of Migrating Cells on Viscoelastic Substrates
Partho Sakha De, Rumi De
Stick-slip motion, a common phenomenon observed during crawling of cells, is found to be strongly sensitive to the substrate stiffness. Stick-slip behaviours have previously been i…
A general model of focal adhesion orientation dynamics in response to static and cyclic stretch
Rumi De
Understanding cellular response to mechanical forces is immensely important for a plethora of biological processes. Focal adhesions are multi-molecular protein assemblies that conn…
