Heterotrophic nanoflagellates are the main consumers of bacteria and picophytoplankton in
the ocean and thus play a key role in ocean biogeochemistry. They are found in all major …

In this review, we provide a theoretical introduction to Jeffery's equations for the orientation
dynamics of an axisymmetric object in a flow at low Reynolds number, and review recent …

We theoretically investigate self-oscillating waves of an active material, which were recently
introduced as a nonsymmetric part of the elastic moduli, termed odd elasticity. Using …

The development of novel drug delivery systems, which are revolutionizing modern
medicine, is benefiting from studies on microorganisms' swimming. In this paper we consider …

Biological and artificial microswimmers often self-propel in external flows of vortical nature;
relevant examples include algae in small-scale ocean eddies, spermatozoa in uterine …

The important role of unicellular flagellated micro-organisms in aquatic food webs is
mediated by their flagella, which enable them to swim and generate feeding currents. The …

This paper focuses on studying a model for molecular motors responsible for the bending of
the axoneme in the flagella of microorganisms. The model is a coupled system of partial …

Properties of microbial communities emerge from the interactions between microorganisms
and between microorganisms and their environment. At the scale of the organisms …

Magnetic filaments driven by external magnetic field are an interesting topic of research in-
terms of the possible bio-medical applications. In this paper, we investigated the applicability …

Autophoretic microswimmers self-propel via surface interactions with a surrounding solute
fuel. Chemically-active filaments are an exciting new microswimmer design that augments …
