Kinetic control of the coverage of oil droplets by DNA-functionalized colloids

…, A Caciagli, J Burelbach, Z Xing, AS Nunes… - Science …, 2016 - science.org
We report a study of reversible adsorption of DNA-coated colloids on complementary
functionalized oil droplets. We show that it is possible to control the surface coverage of oil droplets …

Occluding junctions as novel regulators of tissue mechanics during wound repair

…, S Ponte, CP Heisenberg, L Almeida, AS Nunes… - Journal of Cell …, 2018 - rupress.org
In epithelial tissues, cells tightly connect to each other through cell–cell junctions, but they
also present the remarkable capacity of reorganizing themselves without compromising tissue …

Demixing of active particles in the presence of external fields

S Kumari, AS Nunes, NAM Araújo… - The Journal of chemical …, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
Self-propelled active particles are inherently out of equilibrium as they collect energy from
their surroundings and transform it into directed motion. A recent theoretical study suggests …

[HTML][HTML] Combining experiments and in silico modeling to infer the role of adhesion and proliferation on the collective dynamics of cells

HPM Melo, FR Maia, AS Nunes, RL Reis… - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
The collective dynamics of cells on surfaces and interfaces poses technological and
theoretical challenges in the study of morphogenesis, tissue engineering, and cancer. Different …

Ordering of binary colloidal crystals by random potentials

AS Nunes, SKP Velu, I Kasianiuk, D Kasyanyuk… - Soft Matter, 2020 - pubs.rsc.org
Structural defects are ubiquitous in condensed matter, and not always a nuisance. For example,
they underlie phenomena such as Anderson localization and hyperuniformity, and they …

Field-driven dynamical demixing of binary mixtures

AS Nunes, A Gupta, NAM Araújo… - Molecular Physics, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
We consider mixtures of two species of spherical colloidal particles that differ in their Stokes
coefficients, but are otherwise identical, in the presence of an external field. Since the particle…

Self-assembly of colloidal bands driven by a periodic external field

AS Nunes, NAM Araújo… - The Journal of Chemical …, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
We study the formation of bands of colloidal particles driven by periodic external fields. Using
Brownian dynamics, we determine the dependence of the band width on the strength of the …

Dynamical demixing of a binary mixture under sedimentation

AS Nunes, RCV Coelho, VC Braz, MM da Gama… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
We investigate the sedimentation dynamics of a binary mixture, the species of which differ
by their Stokes coefficients but are identical otherwise. We analyze the sedimentation …

[HTML][HTML] Building the sugarcane genome for biotechnology and identifying evolutionary trends

…, R Vicentini, FTS Nogueira, RA Campos, SL Nunes… - BMC genomics, 2014 - Springer
… At the end of nineteenth century, early sugarcane breeders in Java and India carried out
crosses between S. officinarum and S. spontaneum in order to introduce vigor and resistance …

Improvement of wound tissue repair by chitosan films containing (–)‐borneol, a bicyclic monoterpene alcohol, in rats

…, JKMC Gonsalves, RS Nunes… - International wound …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The aim of this study was to investigate the wound‐healing activity of (–)‐borneol ( BOR )
incorporated in chitosan film on healing protocol in rodents. To assess the BOR wound‐…
