Cell clusters sense their global shape to drive collective migration
Joan Térmens, Irina Pi-Jaumà, Ido Lavi +4
The collective migration of epithelial groups of cells plays a central role in processes such as embryo development, wound healing, and cancer invasion. While finite cell clusters…
Parametric modeling of mechanical effects on circadian oscillators
Keith E. Kennedy, Juan F. Abenza, Leone Rossetti +3
Circadian rhythms are archetypical examples of nonlinear oscillations. While these oscillations are usually attributed to circuits of biochemical interactions among clock genes and…
Non-affine mechanics of entangled networks inspired by intermediate filaments
M. Pensalfini, T. Golde, X. Trepat +1
Inspired by massive intermediate filament (IF) reorganization in superstretched epithelia, we examine computationally the principles controlling the mechanics of a set of entangled…
Living cells on the move
Ricard Alert, Xavier Trepat
Spectacular collective phenomena such as jamming, turbulence, wetting, and waves emerge when living cells migrate in groups.
Physical Models of Collective Cell Migration
Ricard Alert, Xavier Trepat
Collective cell migration is a key driver of embryonic development, wound healing, and some types of cancer invasion. Here we provide a physical perspective of the mechanisms under…
Active wetting of epithelial tissues
Carlos Pérez-González, Ricard Alert, Carles Blanch-Mercader +5
Development, regeneration and cancer involve drastic transitions in tissue morphology. In analogy with the behavior of inert fluids, some of these transitions have been interpreted…
