Active gel segment behaving as an active particle
Pierre Recho, Thibaut Putelat, Lev Truskinovsky
We reduce a one-dimensional model of an active segment (AS), which is used, for instance, in the description of contraction driven cell motility on tracks, to a zero-dimensional mo…

Landau theory of bending-to-stretching transition
O. U. Salman, G. Vitale, L. Truskinovsky
Transition from bending-dominated to stretching-dominated elastic response in semi-flexible fibrous networks plays an important role in the mechanical behavior of cells and tissues…

Colliding cells: when active segments behave as active particles
Pierre Recho, Thibaut Putelat, Lev Truskinovsky
Quantifying the outcomes of cells collisions is a crucial step in building the foundations of a kinetic theory of living matter. Here, we develop a mechanical theory of such collis…
