Scaling of Traction Forces with Size of Cohesive Cell Colonies
Aaron F. Mertz, Shiladitya Banerjee, Yonglu Che +6
To understand how the mechanical properties of tissues emerge from interactions of multiple cells, we measure traction stresses of cohesive colonies of 1-27 cells adherent to soft…

Motor-driven Dynamics of Cytoskeletal FIlaments in Motility Assays
Shiladitya Banerjee, M. Cristina Marchetti, Kristian Müller-Nedebock
We model analytically the dynamics of a cytoskeletal filament in a motility assay. The filament is described as rigid rod free to slide in two dimensions. The motor proteins consis…
