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…
