FibreCastML: An Open Web Platform for Predicting Electrospun Nanofibre Diameter Distributions
Elisa Roldan, Kirstie Andrews, Stephen M. Richardson +5
Electrospinning is a scalable technique for producing fibrous scaffolds with tunable micro- and nanoscale architectures for applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and w…
Spectral approaches to stress relaxation in epithelial monolayers
Natasha Cowley, Christopher K. Revell, Emma Johns +2
We investigate the viscoelastic relaxation to equilibrium of a disordered planar epithelium described using the cell vertex model. In its standard form, the model is formulated as…
Couple stresses and discrete potentials in the vertex model of cellular monolayers
Oliver E. Jensen, Christopher K. Revell
The vertex model is widely used to simulate the mechanical properties of confluent epithelia and other multicellular tissues. This inherently discrete framework allows a Cauchy str…
Force networks, torque balance and Airy stress in the planar vertex model of a confluent epithelium
Oliver E. Jensen, Emma Johns, Sarah Woolner
The vertex model is a popular framework for modelling tightly packed biological cells, such as confluent epithelia. Cells are described by convex polygons tiling the plane and thei…
Mechanical characterization of disordered and anisotropic cellular monolayers
Alexander Nestor-Bergmann, Emma Johns, Sarah Woolner +1
We consider a cellular monolayer, described using a vertex-based model, for which cells form a spatially disordered array of convex polygons that tile the plane. Equilibrium cell c…
Relating cell shape and mechanical stress in a spatially disordered epithelium using a vertex-based model
Alexander Nestor-Bergmann, Georgina Goddard, Sarah Woolner +1
Using a popular vertex-based model to describe a spatially disordered planar epithelial monolayer, we examine the relationship between cell shape and mechanical stress at the cell…
