Topological data analysis is a recent and fast growing field that approaches the analysis of
datasets using techniques from (algebraic) topology. Its main tool, persistent homology (PH) …

A key feature of many living systems, such as bacteria and eukaryotic cells, is their ability to
actively self-propel. Indeed, cellular motility underlies numerous critical biological …

From flocking birds to schooling fish, organisms interact to form collective dynamics across
the natural world. Self-organization is present at smaller scales as well: cells interact and …

Tissue dynamics and collective cell motion are crucial biological processes. Their biological
machinery is mostly known, and simulation models such as the active vertex model exist and …

Coordination of cell behaviour is key to a myriad of biological processes including tissue
morphogenesis, wound healing, and tumour growth. As such, individual-based …

Collective cell migration plays a crucial role in many developmental processes that underlie
morphogenesis, wound healing, or cancer progression. In such coordinated behaviours …

Glial scar formation represents a fundamental response to central nervous system (CNS)
injuries. It is mainly characterized by a well-defined spatial rearrangement of reactive …

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) may cause severe loss of vision or blindness,
particularly in elderly people. Exudative AMD is characterized by the angiogenesis of blood …

Complex biological processes involve collective behavior of entities (bacteria, cells,
animals) over many length and time scales and can be described by discrete models that …

Filament-motor interactions inside cells play essential roles in many developmental as well
as other biological processes. For instance, actin-myosin interactions drive the emergence …
