We investigate, by using molecular dynamics simulations, the effect of curvature on the interfacial properties of pure water and  water-alcohol solutions. For the pure water case we can calculate the Tolman length, which characterizes the dependence of surface tension on … Read More

During embryogenesis, the earliest cell fate decision is tightly linked to nuclear positioning. Control of nuclear positioning arises from the integration of the different phases of activity during the cell cycle and associated cytoskeletal mechanics. Yet, the mechanisms that ensure … Read More

Biological membranes based on lipid bilayers are major components of all living organisms, but lipid layers are also used in many biomedical applications. We use biomembrane models in the form of lipid mono- and bilayers at water/air and water/oil interfaces … Read More

Hadronization, a crucial component of event generation, is traditionally simulated using fine-tuned empirical models. While current phenomenological models have been quite successful overall in simulating this process, there are still areas where they lack accuracy in describing the underlying physics. … Read More

The importance of nematic order and active nematic behaviour to epithelial morphogenesis is becoming increasingly clear. Several approaches have been developed to adapt vertex models, one of the most ubiquitous methods of modelling epithelia, to also include nematic activity. Here, … Read More

Speakers: Urša Uršič (Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics) The first few cell divisions are crucial for successful embryonic development of multicellular organisms. In order to divide properly, a myriad of biochemical and mechanical events need to … Read More
