Bacteria growing within an aligned liquid crystal fluid—environments mimicking specific biological settings like biofilm matrices or mucus linings—organize into single-cell-wide chains that gradually lengthen before experiencing localized buckling, ultimately forming a tangled, serpentine network.

Researchers have developed a novel mathematical model that treats biological tissue as a fluid composed of elongated, aligned particles to explain how surrounding cellular forces influence the speed and shape of wound closure. The model demonstrates that the structural orientation of cells around a wound actively dictates healing dynamics.

Just messing about a bit. Here is the famous #LorenzAttractor plotted using #WxMaxima. The three #trajectories, shown in red, green and blue are for three fairly nearby #InitialConditions.
