Anisotropy links cell shapes to tissue flow during convergent extension
Xun Wang, Matthias Merkel, Leo B. Sutter +3
Within developing embryos, tissues flow and reorganize dramatically on timescales as short as minutes. This includes epithelial tissues, which often narrow and elongate in converge…
Phase behavior and rheology of sticky rod-like particles
F. Huang, R. Rotstein, K. E. Kasza +2
We construct colloidal ``sticky'' rods from the semi-flexible filamentous fd virus and temperature-sensitive polymers poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). The phase diagram of fd-…
Visualizing the strain field in semiflexible polymer networks: strain fluctuations and nonlinear rheology of F-actin gels
J. Liu, G. H. Koenderink, K. E. Kasza +2
We image semi-flexible polymer networks under shear at the micrometer scale. By tracking embedded probe particles, we determine the local strain field, and directly measure its uni…
Sorting by Periodic Potential Energy Landscapes: Optical Fractionation
Kosta Ladavac, Karen Kasza, David G. Grier
Viscously damped objects driven through a periodically modulated potential energy landscape can become kinetically locked in to commensurate directions through the landscape, and t…
