Mechanical Clustering of Cells via the ExtraCellular Matrix
Ran Glinowiecki, Shahar Goren, Oren Tchaicheeyan +4
Tissues are composites of living cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), that jointly determine their unique mechanical behavior. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that contractile…
Local Strain-Dependent Anisotropy in Fibrous Networks
Yoni Koren, Shahar Goren, Oren Tchaicheeyan +1
Cells in connective tissues reside within the extracellular matrix (ECM), which consists of a fibrous mesh that exhibits non-linear strain-stiffening behavior, driven by a transiti…
Nonlinear elasticity of the extracellular matrix fibers facilitates efficient inter-cellular mechanical communication
Ran S Sopher, Hanan Tokash, Sari Natan +4
Biological cells embedded in fibrous matrices have been observed to form inter-cellular bands of dense and aligned fibers, through which they mechanically interact over long distan…
