Morphological entropy encodes cellular migration strategies on multiple length scales
Yanping Liu, Yang Jiao, Qihui Fan +6
Cell migration is crucial to many physiological and pathological processes. During migration, a cell adapts its morphology, including the overall morphology and nucleus morphology,…
Disordered Hyperuniform Quasi-1D Materials
Duyu Chen, Yu Liu, Yu Zheng +3
Carbon nanotubes are quasi-one-dimensional systems that possess superior transport, mechanical, optical, and chemical properties. In this work, we generalize the notion of disorder…
Topological Defects, Inherent Structures, and Hyperuniformity
Duyu Chen, Yu Zheng, Yang Jiao
Disordered hyperuniform systems are exotic states of matter that completely suppress large-scale density fluctuations like crystals, and yet possess no Bragg peaks similar to liqui…
Nearly hyperuniform, nonhyperuniform, and antihyperuniform density fluctuations in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides with defects
Duyu Chen, Yu Zheng, Chia-Hao Lee +5
Hyperuniform many-body systems in -dimensional Euclidean space are characterized by completely suppressed (normalized) infinite-wavelength density fluctuations, and appear to be…
Topological Transformations in Hyperuniform Pentagonal 2D Materials Induced by Stone-Wales Defects
Yu Zheng, Duyu Chen, Lei liu +2
We discover two distinct topological pathways through which the pentagonal Cairo tiling (P5), a structural model for single-layer pyrite materials, respectively transforms i…
Shannon Entropy for Time-Varying Persistence of Cell Migration
Yanping Liu, Yang Jiao, Qihui Fan +7
Cell migration, which can be significantly affected by intracellular signaling pathways (ICSP) and extracellular matrix (ECM), plays a crucial role in many physiological and pathol…
Deriving Time-varying Cellular Motility Parameters via Wavelet Analysis
Yanping Liu, Yang Jiao, Guoqiang Li +6
Cell migration is an indispensable physiological and pathological process for normal tissue development and cancer metastasis, which is greatly regulated by intracellular signal pa…
Stone-Wales Defects Preserve Hyperuniformity in Amorphous Two-Dimensional Materials
Duyu Chen, Yu Zheng, Lei Liu +4
Crystalline two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene possess unique physical properties absent in their bulk form, enabling many novel device applications. Yet, little is kn…
Enhanced Electronic Transport in Disordered Hyperuniform Two-Dimensional Amorphous Silica
Yu Zheng, Lei Liu, Hanqing Nan +8
Disordered hyperuniformity (DHU) is a recently proposed new state of matter, which has been observed in a variety of classical and quantum many-body systems. DHU systems are charac…
Modeling cell migration regulated by cell-ECM micromechanical coupling
Yu Zheng, Hanqing Nan, Qihui Fan +6
Cell migration in fibreous extracellular matrix (ECM) is crucial to many physiological and pathological processes such as tissue regeneration, immune response and cancer progressio…
Collective dynamics and self-organization of active particles on random networks
Hanqing Nan, Yu Zheng, Shaohua Chen +5
Collective cell migration in 3D extracellular matrix (ECM) is crucial to many physiological and pathological processes. Migrating cells can generate active pulling forces via actin…
Collective ECM remodeling organizes 3D collective cancer invasion
Jihan Kim, Yu Zheng, Amani A. Alobaidi +4
Tumor metastasis, traditionally considered as random spreading of individual cancer cells, has been shown to also involve coordinated collective invasion in the tissue space. Here…
Modeling Three-dimensional Invasive Solid Tumor Growth in Heterogeneous Microenvironment under Chemotherapy
Hang Xie, Yang Jiao, Qihui Fan +8
A systematic understanding of the evolution and growth dynamics of invasive solid tumors in response to different chemotherapy strategies is crucial for the development of individu…
Heterogeneous Force Chains in Cellularized Biopolymer Network
Long Liang, Christopher Jones, Bo Sun +1
Biopolymer Networks play an important role in coordinating and regulating collective cellular dynamics via a number of signaling pathways. Here, we investigate the mechanical respo…
