Initiation of motility on a compliant substrate
Jocelyn Étienne, Pierre Recho
The conditions under which biological cells switch from a static to a motile state are fundamental to the understanding of many healthy and pathological processes. In this paper, w…
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…
Crawling in a fluid
Alexander Farutin, Jocelyn Etienne, Chaouqi Misbah +1
There is increasing evidence that mammalian cells not only crawl on substrates but can also swim in fluids. To elucidate the mechanisms of the onset of motility of cells in suspens…
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…
