Phenotyping single-cell motility in microfluidic confinement
eLife, 2022 The movement trajectories of organisms serve as dynamic read-outs of their behaviour and physiology. For microorganisms this can be difficult to resolve due to their small size and fast movement.

Analysis of a model for the dynamics of microswimmer suspensions [PDF]
, 2022 In this paper, a model that was recently derived in Reinken et al. to describe the dynamics of microswimmer suspensions is studied. In particular, the global existence of weak solutions, their weak–strong uniqueness, and a connection to a different model

Bacterial Biohybrid Microswimmers
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2018 Over millions of years, Nature has optimized the motion of biological systems at the micro and nanoscales. Motor proteins to motile single cells have managed to overcome Brownian motion and solve several challenges that arise at low Reynolds numbers.

Propulsion Mechanism of Flexible Microbead Swimmers in the Low Reynolds Number Regime
Micromachines, 2020 A propulsion mechanism for a flexible microswimmer constructed from superparamagnetic microbeads with different diameters and subjected to an oscillating field was studied experimentally and theoretically herein. Various types of artificial swimmers with

Galvanotaxis of ciliates: spatiotemporal dynamics of Coleps hirtus under electric fields
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Galvanotaxis describes the functional response of organisms to electric fields. In ciliates, the electric field influences the electrophysiology, and thus, the cilia beat dynamics. This leads to a change of the swimming direction toward the cathode.
