Non-invasive measurement of nuclear relative stiffness from quantitative analysis of microscopy data

Stefano Villa, Andrea Palamidessi, Emanuela Frittoli +3

The connection between the properties of cell tissue and those of the single constituent cells remains to be elucidated. At the purely mechanical level, the degree of rigidity of d…

The self-organised, non-equilibrium dynamics of spontaneous cancerous buds

Abramo Agosti, Stefano Marchesi, Giorgio Scita +1

Tissue self-organization into defined and well-controlled three-dimensional structures is essential during development for the generation of organs. A similar, but highly deranged…

From jamming to collective cell migration through a boundary induced transition

Oleksandr Chepizhko, Maria Chiara Lionetti, Chiara Malinverno +3

Cell monolayers provide an interesting example of active matter, exhibiting a phase transition from a flowing to jammed state as they age. Here we report experiments and numerical…

Giant fluctuations and structural effects in a flocking epithelium

Fabio Giavazzi, Chiara Malinverno, Salvatore Corallino +3

Epithelial cells cultured in a monolayer are very motile in isolation but reach a near-jammed state when mitotic division increases their number above a critical threshold. We have…

Flocking Transition in Confluent Tissues

Fabio Giavazzi, Matteo Paoluzzi, Marta Macchi +5

Collective cell migration underlies important biological processes, such as embryonic development, wound healing and cancer invasion. While many aspects of single cell movements ar…
