README – Supplementary Movies

These files contain supplementary movies accompanying the PhD thesis “Geometry-driven self-organization of migrating cells and chiral filaments” by Zuzana Dunajova (2026). The videos provide additional visual material supporting the experiments and results described in the thesis.

List of movies:

Movie A.1 TIRF time-lapse movies of FtsZ WT.
Movie A.2 STED time-lapse experiments of FtsZ WT.
Movie A.3 Visual phase diagram of large-scale FtsZ patterns.
Movie A.4 Temporal coexistence of rings and bands.
Movie A.5 Topological defects in high density.
Movie A.6 HS-AFM time-lapse movies of FtsZ WT.
Movie A.7 HS-AFM time-lapse experiments of FtsZ L169R.
Movie A.8 Polar sorting of filaments with different properties.
Movie A.9 TIRF time-lapse movies of FtsZ L169R.
Movie A.10 Simulations of FtsZ L169R.
Movie B.1 Invasion of A431 human skin carcinoma cells in ordered vs. disordered environments.
Movie B.2 Invasion of A431 human skin carcinoma cells in free environments.
Movie B.3 Invasion of EPCad-/- A431 human skin carcinoma cells in ordered vs. disordered environments.
Movie B.4 Simulations of cells with different fluidity number (i.e. with varying cell-cell interaction strength) in homogeneous environment.
Movie B.5 Simulations of cells migrating in different environments (homogeneous, ordered and disordered).
Movie B.6 Simulations of EPCad-/- cells (lower cell-cell adhesion) invading different types of environments.
Movie B.7 Simulations of cell invasion in spatially structured environments.
Movie B.8 Simulation and experiment of cell invasion in sinusoid perpendicular pattern.
Movie C.1 Collective behavior of confined self-propelled particles without alignment interactions.
Movie C.2 Rotation reversals in small confinements and active-turbulent-like behavior in large confinements.
Movie C.3 Collective behavior cells without confinement in high density, vs. chiral and non-chiral self-propelled particles in simulations.
