Contact inhibition of locomotion and mechanical cross-talk between cell-cell and cell-substrate adhesion determines the pattern of junctional tension in epithelial cell aggregates
Luke Coburn, Hender Lopez, Adrian Noppe +9
We generated a computational approach to analyze the biomechanics of epithelial cell aggregates, either island or stripes or entire monolayers, that combines both vertex and contac…
Myosin-II dependent cell contractility contributes to spontaneous nodule formation of mesothelioma cells
Julia Tárnoki-Zách, Dona Greta Isai, Elod Méhes +5
We demonstrate that characteristic nodules emerge in cultures of several malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cell lines. Instead of excessive local cell proliferation, the nodules…
Context-dependent interaction leads to emergent search behavior in social aggregates
Colin Torney, Zoltan Neufeld, Iain D. Couzin
Locating the source of an advected chemical signal is a common challenge facing many living organisms. When the advecting medium is characterized by either high Reynolds number or…
Aggregation of chemotactic organisms in a differential flow
Javier Muñoz-García, Zoltán Neufeld
We study the effect of advection on the aggregation and pattern formation in chemotactic systems described by Keller-Segel type models. The evolution of small perturbations is stud…
Phototactic Clustering of Swimming Micro-organisms in a Turbulent Velocity Field
Colin Torney, Zoltan Neufeld
We study the distribution of swimming micro-organisms advected by a model turbulent flow and attracted towards a localised light source through phototaxis. It is shown that particl…
Synchronization and oscillator death in oscillatory media with stirring
Zoltan Neufeld, Istvan Z. Kiss, Changsong Zhou +1
The effect of stirring in an inhomogeneous oscillatory medium is investigated. We show that the stirring rate can control the macroscopic behavior of the system producing collectiv…
