When a virus enters a new host, it can present pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are rarely seen in circulating strains that have adapted to that host’s immune environment over evolutionary...

Flagellated bacteria swim by rotating one or several flagella; motility alone results in a random walk, but the flagella’s rotation can be influenced by an intracellular sensory system that enables cells to climb or...

The motion of active colloids is generally achieved through their anisotropy, as exemplified by Janus colloids. Recently, there was a growing interest in the propulsion of isotropic colloids, which requires some...

Epithelial monolayers are soft thin sheets which shape the body and organs of many multi-cellular organisms. Competition between stretching and bending characterizes shape transitions of thin elastic sheets. While...

Seasonal influenza viruses repeatedly infect humans in part because they rapidly change their antigenic properties and evade host immune responses, necessitating frequent updates of the vaccine composition. A better...

Making and Folding Colloidomers By Design Angus McMullen, Maitane Munoz Basagoiti, Zorana Zeravcic, Jasna Brujic Protein folding is an efficient mechanism used by biology to make molecules with a particular design...

Equilibrium statistical mechanics tells us how to control the self-assembly of passive materials by tuning the competition between energy and entropy to achieve desired states of organization. Out of equilibrium, no...
