Elastic interactions compete with persistent cell motility to drive durotaxis
Subhaya Bose, Haiqin Wang, Xinpeng Xu +2
The directed migration of cells toward stiffer substrate regions or durotaxis is relevant to tissue development and tumor progression. Here, we introduce a phenomenological model f…

Collective states of active particles with elastic dipolar interactions
Subhaya Bose, Patrick S. Noerr, Ajay Gopinathan +2
Many types of mammalian cells exert active contractile forces and mechanically deform their elastic substrate, to accomplish biological functions such as cell migration. These subs…
