Non-affine mechanics of entangled networks inspired by intermediate filaments

M. Pensalfini, T. Golde, X. Trepat +1

Inspired by massive intermediate filament (IF) reorganization in superstretched epithelia, we examine computationally the principles controlling the mechanics of a set of entangled…

Graphene promotes axon elongation through local stall of Nerve Growth Factor signaling endosomes

D. Convertino, F. FabbrI, N. Mishra +8

Several works reported increased differentiation of neuronal cells grown on graphene; however, the molecular mechanism driving axon elongation on this material has remained elusive…

Physical Models of Collective Cell Migration

Ricard Alert, Xavier Trepat

Collective cell migration is a key driver of embryonic development, wound healing, and some types of cancer invasion. Here we provide a physical perspective of the mechanisms under…

Active wetting of epithelial tissues

Carlos Pérez-González, Ricard Alert, Carles Blanch-Mercader +5

Development, regeneration and cancer involve drastic transitions in tissue morphology. In analogy with the behavior of inert fluids, some of these transitions have been interpreted…

Cell contraction induces long-ranged stress stiffening in the extracellular matrix

Yu Long Han, Pierre Ronceray, Guoqiang Xu +5

Animal cells in tissues are supported by biopolymer matrices, which typically exhibit highly nonlinear mechanical properties. While the linear elasticity of the matrix can signific…
