Review: How dynamic prestress governs the shape of living systems, from the subcellular to tissue scale
Alexander Erlich, Jocelyn Étienne, Jonathan Fouchard +1
Cells and tissues change shape both to carry out their function and during pathology. In most cases, these deformations are driven from within the systems themselves. This is permi…

Mechanical Feedback in Regulating the Size of Growing Multicellular Spheroids
Alexander Erlich, Pierre Recho
The mechanism by which cells measure the dimension of the organ in which they are embedded, and slow down their growth when the final size is reached, is a long-standing problem of…
