TITLE: "Chemical reactions and condensates" ABSTRACT: In the past decade, condensates have been implicated as a mechanism of organization in biological systems. In addition to the potentially biologically relevant aspects of this, it has also encouraged physicists to revisit some aspects of the classic theories of phase separation, but now with inclusion of elements that more […]

TITLE: "Merging Experimental and Computational Approaches to Study Neurodegenerative Disease Dynamics" ABSTRACT: Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's affect millions of people around the world and are a growing health concern in aging populations. A major roadblock in developing effective treatments involve the diverse etiology and progression rates, combined with a lack of clear […]

TITLE: "Symmetry breaking during morphogenesis of a mechanosensory organ" ABSTRACT: The development of mechanosensory epithelia, such as those of the auditory and vestibular systems, results in the precise orientation of mechanosensory hair cells and consequently directional sensitivity. After division of a precursor cell in the zebrafish lateral line, the daughter hair cells differentiate with opposite mechanical […]
