Self-organization and shape change by active polarization in nematic droplets
Active forces drive critical biological processes such as spontaneous organization and shape change during cell division. Here, we present a minimal hydrodynamic model leading to a unified description of self-organization and division in nematic droplets through active polarity sorting of cytoskelet...
