Manuscript Topics

Living cells are in a state of constant activity, whether they are motile or stationary. The collective dynamics of cells have motivated studies of active particles and droplets, which are often regarded as model cells that are governed by similar chemical and physical phenomena. While greatly simplified compared with their biological counterparts, many of these models capture some main features of cellular mechanics and give insight into the more complex living systems. Diverse models are designed for specific biological systems to address specific features observed in experiments. The goal of this special issue is to provide a forum for theoretical modeling and numerical simulations of various systems of cells and active particles, so an array of mathematical approaches may emerge to describe the generality of active material in biology and soft matter. To provide an exposition to these diverse and complementary approaches, we encourage submissions to be written in a style that is accessible to a broad scientific audience.
