Compression of a pressurized spherical shell by a spherical or flat probe
Etienne Couturier, Dominic Vella, Arezki Boudaoud
Measuring the mechanical properties of cells and tissues often involves indentation with a sphere, or compression between two plates. Previously, different theoretical approaches h…
Cellular Fourier analysis for geometrically disordered materials
Antoine Fruleux, Arezki Boudaoud
Many media are divided into elementary units with irregular shape and size, as exemplified by domains in magnetic materials, bubbles in foams, or cells in biological tissues. Such…
Patterns of polar domains in a spatiotemporal model of interacting polarities
Maryam Aliee, Arezki Boudaoud
Polarity fields are known to exhibit long distance patterns, in both physical and biological systems. The mechanisms behind such patterns are poorly understood. Here, we describe t…
On size and growth of cells
Arezki Boudaoud
Understanding how growth induces form is a longstanding biological question. Many studies concentrated on the shapes of plant cells, fungi or bacteria. Some others have shown the i…
