Collective Cell Fluidity Controls Active Prestress Transmission in Cell-Extracellular-Matrix Tissues

Liyang Wang, J. M. Schwarz, Tao Zhang

Tissues are active composites in which multicellular collectives and extracellular matrices mechanically reorganize one another. We develop a three-dimensional micromechanical mode…

Cell strain-stiffening drives cell breakout from embedded spheroids

Shabeeb Ameen, Kyungeun Kim, Ligesh Theeyancheri +5

Understanding how cells escape from embedded spheroids requires a mechanical framework linking stress generation within cells, across cells, and between cells and the surrounding e…

Laser interferometry as a robust neuromorphic platform for machine learning

Amanuel Anteneh, Kyungeun Kim, J. M. Schwarz +2

We present a method for implementing an optical neural network using only linear optical resources, namely field displacement and interferometry applied to coherent states of light…

How does an embedded spheroid affect the rigidity of extracellular matrix?

Amanda Parker, J. M. Schwarz

In vitro collagen networks and in silico fiber network models are typically used to represent extracellular matrix in tissues. Such networks exhibit the phenomenon of strain-stiffe…

Rigidity condition for gluing two bar-joint rigid graphs embedded in

Kyungeun Kim, J. M. Schwarz

How does one determine if a collection of bars joined by freely rotating hinges cannot be deformed without changing the length of any of the bars? In other words, how does one dete…

Enhanced extracellular matrix remodeling due to embedded spheroid fluidization

Tao Zhang, Shabeeb Ameen, Sounok Ghosh +5

Tumor spheroids are in vitro three-dimensional, cellular collectives consisting of cancerous cells. Embedding these spheroids in an in vitro fibrous environment, such as a collagen…

A two-dimensional vertex model for curvy cell-cell interfaces at the subcellular scale

Kyungeun Kim, J. M. Schwarz, Martine Ben Amar

Cross-sections of cell shapes in a tissue monolayer typically resemble a tiling of convex polygons. Yet, examples exist where the polygons are not convex with curved cell-cell inte…
