The impact of contact inhibition on collective cell migration and proliferation
Harish P. Jain, Dennis Wenzel, Axel Voigt
Contact inhibition limits migration and proliferation of cells in cell colonies. We consider a multiphase field model to investigate the growth dynamics of a cell colony, composed…
Topological and geometrical quantities in active cellular structures
Dennis Wenzel, Simon Praetorius, Axel Voigt
Topological and geometrical properties and the associated topological defects find a rapidly growing interest in studying the interplay between mechanics and the collective behavio…
Controlling grain boundaries by magnetic fields
R. Backofen, K. R. Elder, A. Voigt
The ability to use external magnetic fields to influence the microstructure in polycrystalline materials has potential applications in microstructural engineering. To explore this…
Collective migration under hydrodynamic interactions -- a computational approach
Wieland Marth, Axel Voigt
Substrate-based cell motility is essential for fundamental biological processes, such as tissue growth, wound healing and immune response. Even if a comprehensive understanding of…
A mesoscopic field theoretical approach for active systems
Francesco Alaimo, Simon Praetorius, Axel Voigt
We introduce a mesocopic modeling approach for active systems. The continuum model allows to consider microscopic details as well as emerging macroscopic behavior and can be consid…
Relaxation of curvature induced elastic stress by the Asaro-Tiller-Grinfeld instability
C. Köhler, R. Backofen, A. Voigt
A two-dimensional crystal on the surface of a sphere experiences elastic stress due to the incompatibility of the crystal axes and the curvature. A common mechanism to relax elasti…
A mechanism for cell motility by active polar gels
Wieland Marth, Simon Praetorius, Axel Voigt
We analyse a generic motility model, with the motility mechanism arising by contractile stress due to the interaction of myosin and actin. A hydrodynamic active polar gel theory is…
