Biomechanics of Collective Cell Migration in Cancer Progression -- Experimental and Computational Methods
Catalina-Paula Spatarelu, Hao Zhang, Dung Trung Nguyen +7
Cell migration is essential for regulating many biological processes in physiological or pathological conditions, including embryonic development and cancer invasion. In vitro and…
Fast nastic motion of plants and bio-inspired structures
Qiaohang Guo, Eric Dai, Xiaomin Han +3
The capability to sense and respond to external mechanical stimuli at various timescales is essential to many physiological aspects in plants, including self-protection, intake of…
Shape Selection and Multi-stability in Helical Ribbons
Qiaohang Guo, Anil K. Mehta, Martha A. Grover +3
Helical structures, almost ubiquitous in biological systems, have inspired the design and manufacturing of helical devices with applications in nanoelecromechanical systems (NEMS),…
Mechanics of Tunable Helices and Geometric Frustration in Biomimetic Seashells
Qiaohang Guo, Zi Chen, Wei Li +5
Helical structures are ubiquitous in nature and engineering, ranging from DNA molecules to plant tendrils, from sea snail shells to nanoribbons. While the helical shapes in natural…
Nonlinear geometric effects in mechanical bistable morphing structures
Zi Chen, Qiaohang Guo, Carmel Majidi +3
Bistable structures associated with non-linear deformation behavior, exemplified by the Venus flytrap and slap bracelet, can switch between different functional shapes upon actuati…
