Gradients in solid surface tension drive Marangoni-like motions in cell aggregates
Vikrant Yadav, Md. Sulaiman Yousafzai, Sorosh Amiri +3
The surface tension of living cells and tissues originates from the generation of nonequilibrium active stresses within the cell cytoskeleton. Here, using laser ablation, we genera…
Interplay between substrate rigidity and tissue fluidity regulates cell monolayer spreading
Michael F. Staddon, Michael P. Murrell, Shiladitya Banerjee
Coordinated and cooperative motion of cells is essential for embryonic development, tissue morphogenesis, wound healing and cancer invasion. A predictive understanding of the emerg…
The structural, vibrational, and mechanical properties of jammed packings of deformable particles in three dimensions
Dong Wang, John D. Treado, Arman Boromand +4
We investigate the structural, vibrational, and mechanical properties of jammed packings of deformable particles with shape degrees of freedom in three dimensions (3D). Each 3D def…
Bridging particle deformability and collective response in soft solids
John D. Treado, Dong Wang, Arman Boromand +3
Soft, amorphous solids such as tissues, foams, and emulsions are composed of deformable particles. However, the effect of single-particle deformability on the collective behavior o…
Irreversibility in dynamical phases and transitions
Daniel S. Seara, Benjamin B. Machta, Michael P. Murrell
Living and non-living active matter consumes energy at the microscopic scale to drive emergent, macroscopic behavior including traveling waves and coherent oscillations. Recent wor…
Epithelial Wound Healing Coordinates Distinct Actin Network Architectures to Conserve Mechanical Work and Balance Power
Visar Ajeti, A. Pasha Tabatabai, Andrew J. Fleszar +8
How cells with diverse morphologies and cytoskeletal architectures modulate their mechanical behaviors to drive robust collective motion within tissues is poorly understood. During…
