The remarkable processes that characterize living organisms, such as motility, self-healing
and reproduction, are fuelled by a continuous injection of energy at the microscale. The field …

The minimal structural unit of a solid tumor is a single cell or a cellular compartment such as
the nucleus. A closer look inside the cells reveals that there are functional compartments or …

Controlling interfaces of phase-separating fluid mixtures is key to the creation of diverse
functional soft materials. Traditionally, this is accomplished with surface-modifying chemical …

Bacteria are among the oldest and most abundant species on Earth. Bacteria successfully
colonize diverse habitats and play a significant role in the oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen …

The human eye is bored by monotonous landscapes. We are depressed by gray skies,
unending plains under the wing of an airliner, featureless urban sprawl, geometric …

In this article, we review physics-based models of collective cell motility. We discuss a range
of techniques at different scales, ranging from models that represent cells as simple self …

Binary fluid mixtures are examples of complex fluids whose microstructure and flow are
strongly coupled. For pairs of simple fluids, the microstructure consists of droplets or …

The hallmark of active matter is the autonomous directed motion of its microscopic
constituents driven by consumption of energy resources. This motion leads to the …

Over the last decade, the Lattice Boltzmann method has found major scope for the
simulation of a large spectrum of problems in soft matter, from multiphase and multi …

We review the state of the art of active fluids with particular attention to hydrodynamic
continuous models and to the use of Lattice Boltzmann Methods (LBM) in this field. We …
