Phase Field Modeling of Dictyostelium Discoideum Chemotaxis
Yunsong Zhang, Herbert Levine, Yanxiang Zhao
A phase field approach is proposed to model the chemotaxis of Dictyostelium discoideum. In this framework, motion is controlled by active forces as determined by the Meinhardt mode…
Collective Motility, Mechanical Waves, and Durotaxis in Cell Clusters
Youyuan Deng, Herbert Levine, Xiaoming Mao +1
Epithelial cell clusters often move collectively on a substrate. Mechanical signals play a major role in organizing this behavior. There are a number of experimental observations i…
Insights from Graph Theory on the Morphologies of Actomyosin Networks with Multilinkers
Yossi Eliaz, Francois Nedelec, Greg Morrison +2
Quantifying the influence of microscopic details on the dynamics of development of the overall structure of a filamentous network is important in a number of biologically relevant…
Understanding cytoskeletal avalanches using mechanical stability analysis
Carlos Floyd, Herbert Levine, Christopher Jarzynski +1
Eukaryotic cells are mechanically supported by a polymer network called the cytoskeleton, which consumes chemical energy to dynamically remodel its structure. Recent experiments in…
Ordered Hexagonal Patterns via Notch-Delta Signaling
Eial Teomy, David A. Kessler, Herbert Levine
Many developmental processes in biology utilize Notch-Delta signaling to construct an ordered pattern of cellular differentiation. This signaling modality is based on nearest-neigh…
Eshel Ben-Jacob: A unique individual in the science of collective phenomena
Herbert Levine
Eshel Ben-Jacob, one of the co-organizers of this meeting on collective behavior and one of the pioneers in the field of collective behavior in biology, passed away suddenly just b…
