 abstract = {We study theoretically the hydrodynamics of a fluid drop containing
oriented filaments endowed with active contractile or extensile stresses
and placed on a solid surface. The active stresses alter qualitatively
the wetting properties of the drop, leading to new spreading laws and
novel static drop shapes. Candidate systems for testing our predictions
include cytoskeletal extracts with motors and ATP, suspensions of
bacteria or pulsatile cells, or fluids laden with artificial
self-propelled colloids.},
