Active wetting of epithelial tissues [PDF]

Nature Physics, 2019
Development, regeneration and cancer involve drastic transitions in tissue morphology. In analogy with the behavior of inert fluids, some of these transitions have been interpreted as wetting transitions.

Wetting and complex remodeling of membranes by biomolecular condensates

bioRxiv, 2023
Cells compartmentalize their components in liquid-like condensates, which can be reconstituted in vitro. Although these condensates interact with membrane-bound organelles, the potential of membrane remodeling and the underlying mechanisms are not well ...

Grain Boundary Wetting Transition in the Mg-Based ZEK 100 Alloy

Crystals, 2023
Modern magnesium-based alloys are broadly used in various industries as well as for biodegradable medical implants due to their exceptional combination of light weight, strength, and plasticity. The studied ZEK100 alloy had a nominal composition of 1 wt.%

Wetting Effect on Patterned Substrates

Advances in Materials, 2023
A droplet deposited on a solid substrate leads to the wetting phenomenon. A natural observation is the lotus effect, known for its superhydrophobicity. This special feature is engendered by the structured microstructure of the lotus leaf, namely, surface

Triboelectric wetting for continuous droplet transport

Science Advances, 2022
Manipulating liquid is of great significance in fields from life sciences to industrial applications. Owing to its advantages in manipulating liquids with high precision and flexibility, electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) has been widely used in various
