Steering self-organisation through confinement
Self-organisation is the spontaneous emergence of spatio-temporal structures and patterns
from the interaction of smaller individual units. Examples are found across many scales in …

Cell motility in confluent tissues induced by substrate disorder
In vivo and in vitro cells rely on the support of an underlying biocompatible substrate, such
as the extracellular matrix or a culture substrate, to spread and proliferate. The mechanical …

Effect of anisotropy on the formation of active particle films
TC Rebocho, M Tasinkevych, CS Dias - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
Active colloids belong to a class of nonequilibrium systems where energy uptake,
conversion, and dissipation occur at the level of individual colloidal particles, which can lead …

Model for active particles confined in a two-state micropattern
We propose a model, based on active Brownian particles, for the dynamics of cells confined
in a two-state micropattern, composed of two rectangular boxes connected by a bridge, and …

Collective dynamics of flexible active particles on substrates: from cells to tissues
D Estevão Pereira Pinto - 2022 - repositorio.ul.pt
We study the effects of disorder in epithelial confluent tissues through the Voronoi model for
dense tissues. The modeling of epithelial tissues relies on three different mechanisms: cell …
