Review: How dynamic prestress governs the shape of living systems, from the subcellular to tissue scale
Alexander Erlich, Jocelyn Étienne, Jonathan Fouchard +1
Cells and tissues change shape both to carry out their function and during pathology. In most cases, these deformations are driven from within the systems themselves. This is permi…
A tug-of-war between stretching and bending in living cell sheets
Pierre Recho, Jonathan Fouchard, Tom Wyatt +3
The balance between stretching and bending deformations characterizes shape transitions of thin elastic sheets. While stretching dominates the mechanical response in tension, bendi…
Collective dynamics of actomyosin cortex endow cells with intrinsic mechanosensing properties
Jocelyn Étienne, Jonathan Fouchard, Démosthène Mitrossilis +3
Living cells adapt and respond actively to the mechanical properties of their environment. In addition to biochemical mechanotransduction, evidence exists for a myosin-dependent, p…
