We investigate the formation of condensates in a binary lattice gas in the presence of chiral interactions. These interactions differ between a given microscopic configuration and its mirror image. We consider a two-dimensional lattice gas with nearest-neighbour interactions, to which we add interactions involving favoured local structures (FLSs) t...

Due to the breaking of time-reversal and parity symmetries and the presence of non-conservative microscopic interactions, active spinner fluids and solids respectively exhibit nondissipative odd viscosity and nonstorage odd elasticity, engendering phenomena unattainable in traditional passive or active systems. Here, we study the effects of odd vis...
Microglia are resident macrophage cells in the central nervous system that search for pathogens or abnormal neural activities and migrate to resolve the issues. The effective search and targeted motion of macrophages mean dearly to maintaining a healthy brain, yet little is known about their migration dynamics. In this work, we study microglial mot...
The shear-induced self-organization of active rotors into stripy aggregates is studied by carrying out computational simulations. The rotors, modeled by monolayers of frictional spheres, develop to stripy microstructures only when they counterrotate with respect to the vorticity of the imposed shear flow. The average width of the stripes is demonst...
The shear-induced reversible self-organization of active rotors into strip-like aggregates is studied by carrying out computational simulations. The numerical and theoretical results demonstrate that the average width of the strips is linearly dependent on the relative intensity of active torque to the shear rate of the imposed flow. In the particl...
Fibrous Proteins In their Research Article on page 11858, Yuanjin Zhao, Yang Jiao, Fangfu Ye et al. report the organization of collagen fiber bundles. The bundles transmit mechanical signals and induce strongly correlated cell migration.

Correlated cell migration in fibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) is important in many biological processes. During migration, cells can remodel the ECM, leading to the formation of mesoscale structures such as fiber bundles. However, how such mesoscale structures regulate correlated single‐cells migration remains to be elucidated. Here, using a quas...
Collagen fibers are dynamically re‐organized by cells, and are able to transmit tensile force for precise cell‐communication at single‐cells level. This mechanism also explains the self‐organization of multiple cells in the quasi‐3D microenvironment.

Due to the abuse of antibiotics, antibiotic residues can be detected in both natural environment and various industrial products, posing threat to the environment and human health. Here we describe the design and implementation of an engineered Escherichia coli capable of degrading tetracycline (Tc)-one of the commonly used antibiotics once on huma...
