Filamentous bacteriophages: versatile model building blocks in soft matter and biomaterials
Filamentous bacteriophages with their features like outstanding monodispersity and their ability to self-organize into a myriad of ordered structures motivate the strong interest they have raised as model systems of...

Choreographing the dance of active nematic defects
Active nematics are biomimetic liquid crystals in which a 2D network of microtubule filaments is set in motion by the action of molecular motors (1, 2). In its steady state, this system usually exhibits chaotic...

Coupled stochastic dynamics and kinetics simulations with applications to Biology and Chemistry
Complex systems can be successfully modeled in computer simulations. Due to the high computational cost of the numerical algorithms, different techniques are adapted to suit particular time- and length scales....

Physics of mammalian blastocyst morphogenesis
The formation of the blastocyst during preimplantation development constitutes a unique opportunity to study living mammalian embryos. The blastocyst consists of a surface epithelium enveloping a fluid-filled lumen...

Control of biological processes
Time is a major constraint for life. Biological systems need to adapt and respond accurately to the changes in their environment. Having fine-grained control in nonequilibrium processes via external interventions...

Context-dependent selectivity to natural scenes in the retina
Retina ganglion cells extract specific features from natural scenes and send this information to the brain. In particular, they respond to local light increase (ON responses), and/or decrease (OFF). However, it is...

Active mechanical and electrohydraulic properties of tissues
Tissues are assemblies of large numbers of cells, which form a soft active material. Their dynamics are governed by chemical signals between cells, which both coordinate active mechanical processes and also give rise...
