Control of morphology and topology in a lattice model of branching morphogenesis
Christian Hanauer, Frank Jülicher, Efe Ilker
We present a lattice model for morphogen-controlled branching morphogenesis which combines ideas and concepts from non-equilibrium physics and developmental biology. In this model,…
Hydrodynamic theory of chemically active emulsions
Efe Ilker, Kathrin Laxhuber, Jean-Francois Joanny +1
We present a systematic theory of chemically active emulsions in the hydrodynamic limit by constructing a thermodynamically consistent framework in which the equilibrium is broken…
Physical Approaches to Metabolic Scaling in Living Systems
Efe Ilker, Michael Hinczewski, Xingbo Yang +1
Living systems continuously transform matter and energy through the chemical processes that constitute their metabolism. The overall metabolic rate of an organism correlates positi…
A Model for Self-Organized Growth, Branching, and Allometric Scaling of the Planarian Gut
Christian Hanauer, Amrutha Palavalli, Baiqun An +3
The growth and scaling of organs is a fundamental aspect of animal development. However, how organs grow to the right size and shape required by physiological demands, remains larg…
