Polar and dipolar contributions to collective cell motility
<p>Active materials take energy from their surroundings and use it to do mechanical work. The theories of active matter can describe a wide variety of living systems, such as bacterial colonies, actin-myosin networks and cell tissues. In this thesis, we investigate the collective behaviour of...
