No unjamming transition in a marginal vertex model of biological tissue
Daniel M. Sussman, Matthias Merkel
Vertex models are a popular approach to modeling the mechanical and dynamical properties of dense biological tissues, describing the tissue as a network of connected polygons repre…

A geometrically controlled rigidity transition in a model for confluent 3D tissues
Matthias Merkel, Lisa Manning
The origin of rigidity in disordered materials is an outstanding open problem in statistical physics. Previously, a class of 2D cellular models has been shown to undergo a rigidity…

Correlating Cell Shape and Cellular Stress in Motile Confluent Tissues
Xingbo Yang, Dapeng Bi, Michael Czajkowski +3
Collective cell migration is a highly regulated process involved in wound healing, cancer metastasis and morphogenesis. Mechanical interactions among cells provide an important reg…
