Membrane-bound and membraneless organelles/biomolecular condensates ensure
compartmentalization into functionally distinct units enabling proper organization of cellular …

Axons are the slender, cable-like, up to meter-long projections of neurons that electrically
wire our brains and bodies. In spite of their challenging morphology, they usually need to be …

Motility is a fundamental feature of living matter, encompassing single cells and collective
behavior. Such living systems are characterized by nonconservativity of energy and a large …

In the cellular phenomena of cytoplasmic streaming, molecular motors carrying cargo along
a network of microtubules entrain the surrounding fluid. The piconewton forces produced by …

We investigate conformations and dynamics of a polymer considering its monomers to be
active Brownian particles. This active polymer shows very intriguing physical behavior which …

Beating flagella exhibit a variety of synchronization modes. This synchrony has long been
attributed to hydrodynamic coupling between the flagella. However, recent work with …

The conformational and dynamical properties of a tethered semiflexible polymer chain under
tangential active force (fa) are studied by using the Langevin dynamics simulation method …

Recent studies indicate that active polymers often show curious conformational and
dynamical properties. Specially, rigid polymers with self-propelled tangential forces can …

We consider a model of an extensible semiflexible filament moving in two dimensions on a
motility assay of motor proteins represented explicitly as active harmonic linkers. Their …

We investigate the effects of uniform viscosity gradients on the spontaneous oscillations of
an elastic, active filament in viscous fluids. Combining numerical simulations and linear …
