Active Particles in Complex and Crowded Environments (2016, background): “The formation of these patterns seems to be ubiquitous among active matter systems since similar active turbulence has been reported in other active systems on widely varying length and time scales, from suspensions of microtubules, filaments, and molecular motors (Schaller et al., 2010; Sanchez et ”
Active suspensions and their nonlinear models (2013, background): “It is interesting to recall the close analogy between active suspensions and a number of other active biophysical systems, including: actin–myosin beds [29] and networks [142], cytoskeletal networks [27], motor-protein–microtubule complexes [26], to name a few.”

The statistical physics of active matter: From self-catalytic colloids to living cells (2017, background): “As an example, the orientational order depend on the shape and symmetry of the microscopic agents: (i) ferromagnetic-like order is observed when the particles are polar, namely when they have distinct head and tail [15,16]; (ii) nematic order is reported for apolar particles with head–tail symmetry ”
Active Brownian particles (2012, methodology): “Phenomena like giant number fluctuations, phase separation and clustering phenomena fall into this class and have all been observed in experiments [244,270,298], predicted or reproduced by theoretical analysis and numerical simulations of appropriate models [235,266,278,269,343].”
Nonequilibrium physics in biology (2019, background): “A somewhat different aim is followed in gliding assays, where filaments at high density move on substrates covered with motors (Butt et al., 2010; Schaller et al., 2010) and which are more akin to self-propelled particles.”
