18.cifr/2013.marchetti.active-matter-hydroThis review summarizes theoretical progress in the field of active matter, placing it in the context of the statistical mechanics of soft matter and biophysics. Active matter systems exchange energy with the environment at the scale of individual constituents, driving them far from thermodynamic equilibrium. The review covers hydrodynamic theories for polar and nematic active fluids, active gels, and their instabilities and pattern formation.

Extension to 3D and confined geometries is needed for biological relevance. Incorporating spatiotemporally varying activity fields would enable morphogenesis modeling. Quantitative links from zeta to molecular motor properties and theoretical treatment of high-activity active turbulence remain open.
