Active Vertex Model for Cell-Resolution Description of Epithelial Tissue Mechanics
Daniel L. Barton, Silke Henkes, Cornelis J. Weijer +1
We introduce an Active Vertex Model (AVM) for cell-resolution studies of the mechanics of confluent epithelial tissues consisting of tens of thousands of cells, with a level of det…
Cell division and death inhibit glassy behaviour of confluent tissues
D. A. Matoz-Fernandez, K. Martens, Rastko Sknepnek +2
We investigate the effects of cell division and apopotosis on collective dynamics in two-dimensional epithelial tissues. Our model includes three key ingredients observed across ma…
Non-Hookean statistical mechanics of clamped graphene ribbons
Mark J. Bowick, Andrej Kosmrlj, David R. Nelson +1
Thermally fluctuating sheets and ribbons provide an intriguing forum in which to investigate strong violations of Hooke's Law: large distance elastic parameters are in fact not con…
Dynamically Generated Patterns in Dense Suspensions of Active Filaments
K. R. Prathyusha, Silke Henkes, Rastko Sknepnek
We use Langevin dynamics simulations to study dynamical behaviour of a dense planar layer of active semi-flexible filaments. Using the strength of active force and the thermal pers…
