During the growth of a cell collective, such as proliferating microbial colonies and epithelial
tissues, the local cell growth increases the local pressure, which in turn suppresses cell …

In contexts ranging from embryonic development to bacterial ecology, cell populations
migrate chemotactically along self-generated chemical gradients, often forming a …

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 the mitotic spindle up to tissues and biofilms, many biological systems behave as
active droplets, which often break symmetry and change shape spontaneously. Here, I show …

The coordinated behaviors of epithelial cells are widely observed in tissue development,
such as re-epithelialization, tumor growth, and morphogenesis. In these processes, cells …

We consider a continuous active polar fluid model for the spreading of epithelial monolayers
introduced by R. Alert, C. Blanch-Mercader, and J. Casademunt, 2019. The corresponding …

Tissue growth underpins a wide array of biological and developmental processes, and
numerical modeling of growing systems has been shown to be a useful tool for …

The dynamics of a two-dimensional aggregate of active rod-shaped particles in the nematic
phase with a free boundary is considered theoretically. The aggregate is in contact with a …

During the expansion of a cell collective, such as the development of microbial colonies and
tumor progression, the local cell growth increases the local pressure, which in turn …
