Dynamic clustering of active rings

L Theeyancheri, S Chaki, T Bhattacharjee… - Physical Review …, 2024 - APS
A collection of rings made of active Brownian particles (ABPs) for different packing fractions
and activities is investigated using computer simulations. We show that active rings display …

[HTML][HTML] Motility-induced phase separation of soft active Brownian particles

A Torres-Carbajal, FJ Sevilla - Physics of Fluids, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
Motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) is the hallmark of non-equilibrium phase transition
in active matter. Here, by means of Brownian dynamics simulations, we determine the phase …

Deformation-induced phase separation of active vesicles

Y Jin, Y Jin, Z Shi, TH Zhang, K Chen - Physical Chemistry Chemical …, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
Many active materials, such as bacteria and cells, are deformable. Deformability significantly
affects their collective behaviors and movements in complex environments. Here, we …

Phase separation dependent active motion of Janus lipid vesicles

V Willems, A Baron, DAM Fernandez… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Active colloidal systems have emerged as promising contenders for the future of
microdevices. While conventional designs have extensively exploited the use of hard …

Multiphase Field Model of Cells on a Substrate

M Chiang, A Hopkins, B Loewe, D Marenduzzo… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Multiphase field models have emerged as an important computational tool for understanding
biological tissue while resolving single-cell properties. While they have successfully …

Aggregate morphing of self-aligining soft active disks in semi-confined geometry

A Chugh, S De Karmakar, R Ganesh - arXiv preprint arXiv:2403.04075, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study the dependence of alignment and confinement on the aggregate morphology of
self-aligning soft disks in a planer box geometry confined along y direction. We show that the …

The self-organized structure of glioma oncostreams and the disruptive role of passive cells.

L Barberis, CA Condat, SM Faisal, PR Lowenstein - 2024 - researchsquare.com
Oncostreams are self-organized structures formed by spindle-like, elongated, self-propelled
cells recently described in glioblastomas and especially in gliosarcomas. Cells within these …
