Nonlinear rheology of cellular networks
Charlie Duclut, Joris Paijmans, Mandar M. Inamdar +2
Morphogenesis depends crucially on the complex rheological properties of cell tissues and on their ability to maintain mechanical integrity while rearranging at long times. In this…

Hydraulic and electric control of cell spheroids
Charlie Duclut, Jacques Prost, Frank Jülicher
We use a theoretical approach to examine the effect of a radial fluid flow or electric current on the growth and homeostasis of a cell spheroid. Such conditions may be generated by…

Fluid pumping and active flexoelectricity can promote lumen nucleation in cell assemblies
Charlie Duclut, Niladri Sarkar, Jacques Prost +1
We discuss the physical mechanisms that promote or suppress the nucleation of a fluid-filled lumen inside a cell assembly or a tissue. We discuss lumen formation in a continuum the…
