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…

Nonlinear elasticity of the extracellular matrix fibers facilitates efficient inter-cellular mechanical communication
Ran S Sopher, Hanan Tokash, Sari Natan +4
Biological cells embedded in fibrous matrices have been observed to form inter-cellular bands of dense and aligned fibers, through which they mechanically interact over long distan…
