The influence of nucleus mechanics in modelling adhesion-independent cell migration in structured and confined environments
Chiara Giverso, Gaspard Jankowiak, Luigi Preziosi +1
Recent biological experiments have shown that certain types of cells are able to move in structured and confined environment even without the activation of focal adhesion. Focusing…
Bifurcation of elastic curves with modulated stiffness
Katharina Brazda, Gaspard Jankowiak, Christian Schmeiser +1
We investigate the equilibrium configurations of closed planar elastic curves of fixed length, whose stiffness, also known as the bending rigidity, depends on an additional density…
Micro- and Macroscopic Modeling of Crowding and Pushing in Corridors
Michael Fischer, Gaspard Jankowiak, Marie-Therese Wolfram
Experiments with pedestrians revealed that the geometry of the domain, as well as the incentive of pedestrians to reach a target as fast as possible have a strong influence on the…
Modelling adhesion-independent cell migration
Gaspard Jankowiak, Diane Peurichard, Anne Reversat +2
A two-dimensional mathematical model for cells migrating without adhesion capabilities is presented and analyzed. Cells are represented by their cortex, which is modelled as an ela…
