    • Relaxation dynamics of fluid membranes 

      Arroyo Balaguer, Marino; DeSimone, Antonio (2009-03)
      Article
      Accés obert
      We study the effect of membrane viscosity in the dynamics of liquid membranes{possibly with free or internal boundaries{ driven by conservative forces (curvature elasticity and line tension) and dragged by the bulk dissipation ...
    • Reverse engineering the euglenoid movement 

      Arroyo Balaguer, Marino; Heltai, Luca; Millán, Raúl Daniel; DeSimone, Antonio (2012-10)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Euglenids exhibit an unconventional motility strategy amongst unicellular eukaryotes, consisting of large-amplitude highly concerted deformations of the entire body (euglenoid movement or metaboly). A plastic cell envelope ...
    • Shape control of active surfaces inspired by the movement of euglenids 

      Arroyo Balaguer, Marino; DeSimone, Antonio (2014-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      We examine a novel mechanism for active surface morphing inspired by the cell body deformations of euglenids. Actuation is accomplished through in-plane simple shear along prescribed slip lines decorating the surface. Under ...
    • Smart helical structures inspired by the pellicle of euglenids 

      Noselli, Giovanni; Arroyo Balaguer, Marino; DeSimone, Antonio (2019-02)
      Article
      Accés obert
      This paper deals with a concept for a reconfigurable structure bio-inspired by the cell wall architecture of euglenids, a family of unicellular protists, and based on the relative sliding of adjacent strips. Uniform sliding ...
    • Swimming Euglena respond to confinement with a behavioural change enabling effective crawling 

      Noselli, Giovanni; Beran, Alfred; Arroyo Balaguer, Marino; DeSimone, Antonio (2019-02-18)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Some euglenids, a family of aquatic unicellular organisms, can develop highly concerted, large-amplitude peristaltic body deformations. This remarkable behaviour has been known for centuries. Yet, its function remains ...
