Active wetting/de-wetting of focal adhesions on viscoelastic substrates
Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic, Milan Milivojevic, Boris Martinac +2
Cell adhesion to viscoelastic substrates is mediated by focal adhesions (FAs), which dynamically couple actomyosin contractility to the extracellular matrix. Although substrate str…
A phenomenological multiscale framework for orientational interactions and viscoelasticity in migrating epithelial monolayers
Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic, Milan Milivojevic, Peter V. E. McClintock
Collective migration of epithelial monolayers emerges from the interplay between mechanical interactions and biochemical signalling. Here, we present a phenomenological mechanobiol…
Irregular curvature at focal adhesions modulates Piezo1 activity and low frequency ultrasound induced apoptosis in cancer cells
Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic, Milan Milivojevic, Boris Martinac +1
Low-frequency, low intensity ultrasound (LIUS) has emerged as a promising physical modality capable of inducing selective apoptosis of cancer cells, while sparing healthy epithelia…
Marangoni-Driven Redistribution and Activity of Piezo1 Molecules in Epithelial and Cancer Cells
Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic, Milan Milivojevic, Boris Martinac +1
The activity and distribution of Piezo1 molecules, along with the maturity and strength of focal adhesions (FAs), serve as critical factors influencing cell mechanosensing. Notably…
Cell jamming and unjamming in development: physical aspects
Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic, Milan Milivojevic
Collective cell migration is essential for a wide range of biological processes such as: morphogenesis, wound healing, and cancer spreading. However, it is well known that migratin…
Physics of collective cell migration
Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic, Milan Milivojevic
Movement of cell clusters along extracellular matrices (ECM) during tissue development, wound healing, and early stage of cancer invasion involve various inter-connected migration…
Active wetting of epithelial tissues: modeling considerations
Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic, Milan Milivojevic
Morphogenesis, tissue regeneration and cancer invasion involve transitions in tissue morphology. These transitions, caused by collective cell migration (CCM), have been interpreted…
Marangoni effect and cell spreading
Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic, MIlan Milivojevic
Cells are very sensitive to the shear stress (SS). However, undesirable SS is generated during physiological process such as collective cell migration (CCM) and influences the biol…
Viscoelasticity and cell swirling motion
Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic, Milan Milivojevic
Although collective cell migration (CCM) is a highly coordinated and fine-tuned migratory mode, instabilities in the form of cell swirling motion (CSM) often occur. The CSM represe…
Surface activity of cancer cells: the fusion of two cell aggregates
Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic, Milan Milivojevic
Although a good comprehension of how cancer cells collectively migrate by following molecular rules which influence the state of cell-cell adhesion contacts has been generated, the…
