Omnidirectional transport and navigation of Janus particles through a nematic liquid crystal film
Physical Review Research, 2020 We create controllable active particles in the form of metal-dielectric Janus colloids which acquire motility through a nematic liquid crystal film by transducing the energy of an imposed perpendicular AC electric field.

Active colloidal chains with cilia- and flagella-like motion
New Journal of Physics, 2018 It has been shown that self-assembled chains of active colloidal particles can present sustained oscillations. These oscillations are possible because the effective diffusiophoretic forces that mediate the interactions of colloids do not respect the ...

ATP13A2 is involved in intracellular polyamine transport in lung epithelial cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Spermidine transport in lung epithelial cells involves the polyamine transporter ATP13A2. Cell proliferation is associated with the upregulation of ATP13A2. Polyamines are present in all living cells and are implicated in various crucial cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy.

Changes in Immune‐Inflammation Status and Acute Ischemic Stroke Prognosis in Prospective Cohort
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Inflammation is a critical risk factor for poor outcomes in cerebral infarction. Prior studies focused primarily on baseline inflammation status, neglecting dynamic longitudinal changes. We try to investigate the association between immune‐inflammation status alterations and stroke prognosis, and evaluated three systemic biomarkers'

Review: Interactions of Active Colloids with Passive Tracers
Condensed Matter, 2019 Collective phenomena existing universally in both biological systems and artificial active matter are increasingly attracting interest. The interactions can be grouped into active-active and active-passive ones, where the reports on the purely active ...

Feedback-controlled active brownian colloids with space-dependent rotational dynamics
Nature Communications, 2020 Active colloidal systems can serve as an enabling platform to study complex out-of-equilibrium physical phenomena. Using a magnetic control with a feedback loop, here the authors program the dynamics of active Brownian particles by updating their ...

Active colloids at fluid interfaces
Soft Matter, 2016 If an active Janus particle is trapped at the interface between a liquid and a fluid, its self-propelled motion along the interface is affected by a net torque on the particle due to the viscosity contrast between the two adjacent fluid phases. For a simple model of an active, spherical Janus colloid we analyze the conditions under which translation ...
