Mechanical Clustering of Cells via the ExtraCellular Matrix
Ran Glinowiecki, Shahar Goren, Oren Tchaicheeyan +4
Tissues are composites of living cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), that jointly determine their unique mechanical behavior. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that contractile…
Local Strain-Dependent Anisotropy in Fibrous Networks
Yoni Koren, Shahar Goren, Oren Tchaicheeyan +1
Cells in connective tissues reside within the extracellular matrix (ECM), which consists of a fibrous mesh that exhibits non-linear strain-stiffening behavior, driven by a transiti…
Micromechanical statistical model links induced nematic order to mechanical response in fiber networks
Ehud Haimov, Yoni Koren, Ayelet Lesman +2
Contractile cells and external loads reorganize the fibrous extracellular matrix, aligning and compacting fibers over distances far exceeding a cell's size, strongly affecting biop…
Target finding in fibrous biological environments
David Gomez, Eial Teomy, Ayelet Lesman +1
We use a lattice model to study first-passage time distributions of target finding events through complex environments with elongated fibers distributed with different anisotropies…
Elastic Anisotropy Governs the Decay of Cell-induced Displacements
Shahar Goren, Yoni Koren, Xinpeng Xu +1
The unique nonlinear mechanics of the fibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) facilitates long-range cell-cell mechanical communications that would be impossible on linear elastic subst…
Mechanical Interaction Between Cells Facilitates Molecular Transport
David Gomez, Sari Natan, Yair Shokef +1
In vivo, eukaryotic cells are embedded in a matrix environment, where they grow and develop. Generally, this extracellular matrix (ECM) is an anisotropic fibrous structure, through…
