Irreversibility in Active Matter: General Framework for Active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Particles

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2021
Active matter systems are driven out of equilibrium by conversion of energy into directed motion locally on the level of the individual constituents.

Active Matter Ratchets with an External Drift

open access: yes, 2013
When active matter particles such as swimming bacteria are placed in an asymmetric array of funnels, it has been shown that a ratchet effect can occur even in the absence of an external drive. Here we examine active ratchets for two dimensional arrays of

Formulate Adaptive Biphasic Scaffold via Sequential Protein‐Instructed Peptide Co‐Assembly

open access: yesAdvanced Science
To ensure compositional consistency while mitigating potential immunogenicity for stem cell therapy, synthetic scaffolds have emerged as compelling alternatives to native extracellular matrix (ECM).

Incompressible polar active fluids in the moving phase in dimensions d > 2

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2018
We study universal behavior in the moving (polar ordered) phase of a generic system of motile particles with alignment interactions in the incompressible limit for spatial dimensions d  > 2. Using a dynamical renormalization group analysis, we obtain the

Rotaxanes with a photoresponsive macrocycle modulate the lipid bilayers of large and giant unilamellar vesicles

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry
Rotaxanes equipped with actuators hold great potential for developing highly functional molecular machines. Such systems could significantly enhance our ability to study and manipulate biological and artificial membranes.

Active dynamics of tissue shear flow

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2017
We present a hydrodynamic theory to describe shear flows in developing epithelial tissues. We introduce hydrodynamic fields corresponding to state properties of constituent cells as well as a contribution to overall tissue shear flow due to ...

The role of fluid flow in the dynamics of active nematic defects

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2021
We adapt the Halperin–Mazenko formalism to analyze two-dimensional active nematics coupled to a generic fluid flow. The governing hydrodynamic equations lead to evolution laws for nematic topological defects and their corresponding density fields.

Confined active Brownian particles: theoretical description of propulsion-induced accumulation

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2018
The stationary-state distribution function of confined active Brownian particles (ABPs) is analyzed by computer simulations and analytical calculations. We consider a radial harmonic as well as an anharmonic confinement potential. In the simulations, the

A minimal spatial cell lineage model of epithelium: tissue stratification and multi-stability

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2018
A minimal model which includes spatial and cell lineage dynamics for stratified epithelia is presented. The dependence of tissue steady state on cell differentiation models, cell proliferation rate, cell differentiation rate, and other parameters are ...
