Morphological instability of an invasive active-passive interface
Sumit Sinha, Haiqian Yang, L Mahadevan
Morphological instabilities of growing tissues that impinge on passive materials are typical of invasive cancers. To explain these instabilities in experiments on breast epithelial…
Orientational ordering in active nematic solids
Haiqian Yang, Ming Guo, L. Mahadevan
In vivo and in vitro systems of cells and extra-cellular matrix (ECM) systems are well known to form ordered patterns of orientationally aligned fibers. Here, we interpret them as…
Multicell-Fold: geometric learning in folding multicellular life
Haiqian Yang, Anh Q. Nguyen, Dapeng Bi +2
During developmental processes such as embryogenesis, how a group of cells fold into specific structures, is a central question in biology that defines how living organisms form. E…
Local Nonlinear Elastic Response of Extracellular Matrices
Haiqian Yang, Estelle Berthier, Chenghai Li +5
Nonlinear stiffening is a ubiquitous property of major types of biopolymers that make up the extracellular matrices (ECM) including collagen, fibrin and basement membrane. Within t…
Nonlinear mechanosensation in fiber networks
Estelle Berthier, Haiqian Yang, Ming Guo +2
In a diversity of physiological contexts, eukaryotic cells adhere to an extracellular matrix (ECM), a disordered network with complex nonlinear mechanics. Such cells can perform me…
