Journal ArticleDOI
Continuum theory of phase separation kinetics for active Brownian particles
TL;DR: An accurate continuum theory is presented for the dynamics of phase-separating ABPs, derived by direct coarse graining, capturing leading-order density gradient terms alongside an effective bulk free energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The depletion attraction: an underappreciated force driving cellular organization
TL;DR: Evidence that this force assists in the assembly of a wide range of cellular structures, ranging from the cytoskeleton to chromatin loops and whole chromosomes, is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scalar phi^4 field theory for active-particle phase separation
Raphael Wittkowski,Adriano Tiribocchi,Joakim Stenhammar,Rosalind J. Allen,Davide Marenduzzo,Michael E. Cates +5 more
TL;DR: This work introduces 'Active Model B', a scalar φ(4) field theory (or phase-field model) that minimally violates detailed balance via a leading-order square-gradient term, and finds that this additional term has modest effects on coarsening dynamics, but alters the static phase diagram by creating a jump in (thermodynamic) pressure across flat interfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase behaviour of active Brownian particles: the role of dimensionality
TL;DR: The results confirm the picture established for 2D systems in which an activity-induced phase separation occurs, with strong analogies to equilibrium gas-liquid spinodal decomposition, in spite of the purely non-equilibrium nature of the driving force behind the phase separation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localisation of DivIVA by targeting to negatively curved membranes
Rok Lenarcic,Sven Halbedel,Loek Visser,Michael W. Shaw,Ling Juan Wu,Jeff Errington,Davide Marenduzzo,Leendert W. Hamoen +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that DivIVA binds to liposomes, and that the N terminus harbours the membrane targeting sequence, which may explain whyDivIVA localises at cell division sites and cell poles.
