Self-consistent field theory for the interactions between keratin intermediate filaments
Anna Akinshina, Etienne Jambon-Puillet, Patrick B. Warren +1
We have developed a model for the interactions between keratin intermediate filaments based on self-consistent field theory. The intermediate filaments are represented by charged s…
Mechanical Instabilities of Biological Tubes
Edouard Hannezo, Jean-Francois Joanny, Jacques Prost
We study theoretically the shapes of biological tubes affected by various pathologies. When epithelial cells grow at an uncontrolled rate, the negative tension produced by their di…
Mechanical state, material properties and continuous description of an epithelial tissue
Isabelle Bonnet, Philippe Marcq, Floris Bosveld +3
During development, epithelial tissues undergo extensive morphogenesis based on coordinated changes of cell shape and position over time. Continuum mechanics describes tissue mecha…
Instabilities of monolayered epithelia: shape and structure of villi and crypts
Edouard Hannezo, Jacques Prost, Jean-Francois Joanny
We study theoretically the shapes of a dividing epithelial monolayer of cells lying on top of an elastic stroma. The negative tension created by cell division provokes a buckling i…
Relative stereociliary motion in a hair bundle opposes amplification at distortion frequencies
Andrei S. Kozlov, Thomas Risler, Armin J. Hinterwirth +1
Direct gating of mechanoelectrical-transduction channels by mechanical force is a basic feature of hair cells that assures fast transduction and underpins the mechanical amplificat…
