Chemokinesis-driven accumulation of active colloids in low-mobility regions of fuel gradients
Abstract Many motile cells exhibit migratory behaviors, such as chemotaxis (motion up or down a chemical gradient) or chemokinesis (dependence of speed on chemical concentration), which enable them to carry out vital functions including immune response, egg fertilization, and predator evasion. These...
