A DNA segregation module for synthetic cells
The bottom‐up construction of an artificial cell requires the realization of synthetic cell
division. Significant progress has been made toward reliable compartment division, yet …

Amphiphiles formed from synthetic DNA-nanomotifs mimic the stepwise dispersal of transcriptional clusters in the cell nucleus
X Tschurikow, A Gadzekpo, MP Tran, R Chatterjee… - Nano Letters, 2023 - ACS Publications
Stem cells exhibit prominent clusters controlling the transcription of genes into RNA. These
clusters form by a phase-separation mechanism, and their size and shape are controlled via …

Interplay between jamming and motility-induced phase separation in persistent self-propelling particles
In living and engineered systems of active particles, self-propulsion induces an unjamming

Emergent clustering due to quorum sensing interactions in active matter
Many organisms in nature use local interactions to generate global cooperative phenomena.
To unravel how the behavior of individuals generates effective interactions within a group …

Effect of initial conditions on current fluctuations in non-interacting active particles
We investigate the effect of initial conditions on the fluctuations of the integrated density
current across the origin (x= 0) up to a given time t in a one-dimensional system of non …

Enhanced short time peak in four-point dynamic susceptibility in dense active glass-forming liquids
S Dey, A Mutneja, S Karmakar - Soft Matter, 2022 - pubs.rsc.org
Active glassy systems are simple model systems that imitate complex biological processes.
Sometimes, it becomes crucial to estimate the amount of activity present in such biological …

Configurational temperature in active matter. II. Quantifying the deviation from thermal equilibrium
This paper proposes using the configurational temperature T conf for quantifying how far an
active-matter system is from thermal equilibrium. We measure this “distance” by the ratio of …

Active-parameter polydispersity in the 2d ABP Yukawa model
In experiments and simulations of passive as well as active matter the most commonly
studied kind of parameter polydispersity is that of varying particles size. This paper …

Jamming and flocking in the restricted active Potts model
We study the active Potts model with either site occupancy restriction or on-site repulsion to
explore jamming and kinetic arrest in a flocking model. The incorporation of such volume …
