Biological tissues are composed of various cell types working cooperatively to perform their
respective function within organs and the whole body. During development, embryogenesis …

Intracellular transport is the basis of microscale logistics within cells and is powered by
biomolecular motors. Mimicking transport for in vitro applications has been widely studied; …

Active matter theories naturally describe the mechanics of living systems. As biological
matter is overwhelmingly chiral, an understanding of the implications of chirality for the …

Motility coupled to responsive behavior is essential for many microorganisms to seek and
establish appropriate habitats. One of the simplest possible responses, reversing the …

Whereas self-propelled hard discs undergo motility-induced phase separation, self-
propelled rods exhibit a variety of nonequilibrium phenomena, including clustering …

Much like passive materials, active systems can be affected by the presence of imperfections
in their microscopic order, called defects, that influence macroscopic properties. This …

Collective motion of active matter is ubiquitously observed, ranging from propelled colloids
to flocks of bird, and often features the formation of complex structures composed of agents …

Concentrated active agents can exhibit turbulent-like flows reminiscent of hydrodynamic
turbulence. Despite its importance, the influence of external fields on active turbulence …

Dynamic lane formation and long-range active nematic alignment are reported using a
geometry in which kinesin motors are directly coupled to a lipid bilayer, allowing for in-plane …

This Letter investigates what forms of cellular dynamic self-organization are caused through
intercellular contact communication based on a theoretical model in which migrating cells …
