A minimal physical model for curvotaxis driven by curved protein complexes at the cell's leading edge
Raj Kumar Sadhu, Marine Luciano, Wang Xi +12
Cells often migrate on curved surfaces inside the body, such as curved tissues, blood vessels or highly curved protrusions of other cells. Recent \textit{in-vitro} experiments prov…
A mechanism for electric turbulence in cardiac tissue with optogenetic modification
Rupamanjari Majumder, Sayedeh Hussaini, Vladimir S. Zykov +2
Interruptions in nonlinear wave propagation, commonly referred to as wave breaks, are typical of many complex excitable systems. In the heart they lead to fatal rhythm disorders, t…
Flagella-like beating of a single microtubule
Andrej Vilfan, Smrithika Subramani, Eberhard Bodenschatz +2
Kinesin motors can induce a buckling instability in a microtubule with a fixed minus end. Here we show that by modifying the surface with a protein-repellent functionalization and…
Effects of developmental variability on the dynamics and self-organization of cell populations
Kaumudi H Prabhakara, Azam Gholami, Vladimir S Zykov +1
We report experimental and theoretical results on spatiotemporal pattern formation in cell populations, where the parameters vary in space and time due to mechanisms intrinsic to t…
