Active Nematic Defect Dynamics in Vesicles
User Dogic Lab on YouTube,
The left panels show the z-projected hemispheres of active microtubule nematics on the inner leaflet of a vesicle. The…
Spindle-like Vesicles
User Dogic Lab on YouTube,
The movie displays the dynamics of a spindle-like vesicle with two +1 defects at its poles. The bundles at the poles extend and…
Extreme Vesicle Deformations
User Dogic Lab on YouTube,
An initially round vesicle undergoes elliptic shape deformation due to active nematic defects. For more information see: http:/…
Active Nematics Drives Vesicle Shape Deformations
User Dogic Lab on YouTube,
Membranes which exhibit excess membrane area contain an active nematic cortex which induces significant shape deformation. The…
