Cedeno R, Grossier R, Candoni N, Levernier N, E Flood A, Veesler S
J Chem Phys . 2023 May; 158(19). PMID: 37191406
Nucleation, the birth of a stable cluster from a disorder, is inherently stochastic. Yet up to date, there are no quantitative studies on NaCl nucleation that accounts for its stochastic...

Laplaud V, Levernier N, Pineau J, San Roman M, Barbier L, Saez P, et al.
Sci Adv . 2021 Jul; 7(27). PMID: 34215576
The cell cortex is a contractile actin meshwork, which determines cell shape and is essential for cell mechanics, migration, and division. Because its thickness is below optical resolution, there is...

Levernier N, Pouliquen O, Forterre Y
Front Plant Sci . 2021 Apr; 12:651928. PMID: 33854523
Gravity is a major cue for the proper growth and development of plants. The response of plants to gravity implies starch-filled plastids, the statoliths, which sediments at the bottom of...

Levernier N, Benichou O, Voituriez R
Phys Rev Lett . 2021 Mar; 126(10):100602. PMID: 33784156
Quantifying the efficiency of random target search strategies is a key question of random walk theory, with applications in various fields. If many results do exist for recurrent processes, for...

Levernier N, Textor J, Benichou O, Voituriez R
Phys Rev Lett . 2020 Mar; 124(8):080601. PMID: 32167352
The Lévy hypothesis states that inverse square Lévy walks are optimal search strategies because they maximize the encounter rate with sparse, randomly distributed, replenishable targets. It has served as a...

Klinkert K, Levernier N, Gross P, Gentili C, von Tobel L, Pierron M, et al.
Elife . 2019 Feb; 8. PMID: 30801250
How living systems break symmetry in an organized manner is a fundamental question in biology. In wild-type zygotes, symmetry breaking during anterior-posterior axis specification is guided by centrosomes, resulting in...

Foffano G, Levernier N, Lenz M
Nat Commun . 2016 Dec; 7:13827. PMID: 28000681
The actin cytoskeleton is a key component in the machinery of eukaryotic cells, and it self-assembles out of equilibrium into a wide variety of biologically crucial structures. Although the molecular...
