Endothelial cells (ENCs) and epithelial cells (EPCs) form monolayers whose barrier function
is critical for the maintenance of physiological processes and extremely sensitive to …

Mathematical models are indispensable for disentangling the interactions through which
biological components work together to generate the forces and flows that position, mix, and …

Complex disordered matter is of central importance to a wide range of disciplines, from
bacterial colonies and embryonic tissues in biology to foams and granular media in …

We study the dynamics of proliferating cell collectives whose microscopic constituents'
growth is inhibited by macroscopic growth-induced stress. Discrete particle simulations of a …

We present a higher-order convergent numerical solver for active polar hydrodynamics in
three-dimensional domains of arbitrary shape, along with a scalable open-source software …

Kinesin-5 motors play an essential role during mitotic spindle assembly in many organisms
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11: they crosslink antiparallel spindle microtubules, step toward …

Endothelial cell monolayers line the inner surfaces of blood and lymphatic vessels. They are
continuously exposed to different mechanical loads, which may trigger mechanobiological …

Microtubules and molecular motors are essential components of the cellular cytoskeleton,
driving fundamental processes in vivo, including chromosome segregation and cargo …

Stokes flows with near-touching rigid particles induce near-singular lubrication forces under
relative motion, making their accurate numerical treatment challenging. With the aim of …

Slender fibres are ubiquitous in biology, physics and engineering, with prominent examples
including bacterial flagella and cytoskeletal fibres. In this setting, slender body theories …
