Length scale of cellular activity determines signatures of epithelial remodeling
Sahil Islam, Anupam Gupta, Mohd. Suhail Rizvi
Cellular activity drives epithelial fluidization --- a widespread phenomenon observed during tissue development, remodeling, and repair both in vivo and in vitro. Yet the physical…

DNA Replication under Thermal, Chemical, and Genotoxic Stress
Chinmaya Pradhan, Bhakti Mehta, Nirjharini Saha +2
Eukaryotic DNA replication must remain robust under thermal, chemical, and genotoxic stress despite large fluctuations in replication dynamics. Here, we develop a lattice-based sto…

Motility-Driven Viscoelastic Control of Tissue Morphology in Presomitic Mesoderm
Sahil Islam, Mohd. Suhail Rizvi, Anupam Gupta
Embryonic tissues deform across broad spatial and temporal scales and relax stress through active rearrangements. A quantitative link between cell-scale activity, spatial forcing,…
