dc.description.abstractWe introduce a minimal hydrodynamic model of polarization, migration, and deformation of a biologicalcell confined between two parallel surfaces. In our model, the cell is driven out of equilibrium by an activecytsokeleton force that acts on the membrane. The cell cytoplasm, described as a viscous droplet in the Darcyflow regime, contains a diffusive solute that actively transduces the applied cytoskeleton force. While fairlysimple and analytically tractable, this quasi-two-dimensional model predicts a range of compelling dynamicbehaviours. A linear stability analysis of the system reveals that solute activity first destabilizes a globalpolarization-translation mode, prompting cell motility through spontaneous symmetry breaking. At higheractivity, the system crosses a series of Hopf bifurcations leading to coupled oscillations of droplet shape andsolute concentration profiles. At the nonlinear level, we find traveling-wave solutions associated with uniquepolarized shapes that resemble experimental observations. Altogether, this model offers an analytical paradigmof active deformable systems in which viscous hydrodynamics are coupled to diffusive force transducers.-
