Vesicles with internal active filaments: self-organized propulsion controls shape, motility, and dynamical response

Self-propulsion and navigation due to the sensing of environmental conditions—such as durotaxis and chemotaxis—are remarkable properties of biological cells that cannot be modeled by single-component self-propelled particles. Therefore, we introduce and study ‘flexocytes’, deformable vesicles with e...
