3D pattern formation of a protein-membrane suspension
Amélie Chardac, Michael M. Norton, Jonathan Touboul +1
Many essential cellular processes, including cell division and the establishment of cell polarity during embryogenesis, are regulated by pattern-forming proteins. These proteins of…
Coarsening of biomimetic condensates in a self-stirring active fluid
Jeremy Laprade, Layne Frechette, Christopher Amey +4
Coarsening, the process where larger structures grow at the expense of smaller ones, is a fundamental aspect of multiphase systems. The cell cytoplasm exemplifies an out-of-equilib…
Interfacial instability of confined 3D active droplets
Bennett C. Sessa, Federico Cao, Robert A. Pelcovits +2
Instabilities of fluid-fluid interfaces are ubiquitous in passive soft matter. Adding activity to the interface or either fluid can dramatically change the stability of the interfa…
Emergence of Anti-chemotactic Flocking in Active Biomimetic Colloids
Joseph D. Lopes, Benjamin Winterstrain, Fernando Caballero +11
Competition for resources is a fundamental constraint that guides the self-organization of natural, biological, and human systems, ranging from urban planning and ecosystem develop…
