Eppur si muovono: rotations in active matter

September 2, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Abstract: Living matter relies on the self organization of its components into higher order structures, on the molecular as well as on the cellular, organ or even organism scale. Collective motion due to active transport processes has been shown to be a promising route for attributing fascinating order formation processes on these different length scales. Here I will present recent results on structure formation on actively transported actin filaments on lipid membranes and vesicles, as well as the cell migration induced structure formation in the developmental phase of mammary gland organoids. For both systems spherical structures with persistent collective rotations are observed.
