Boundary-shape driven transitions in vortex and oscillatory dynamics of confined epithelial cells
Ryo Ienaga, Kazuyuki Shigeta, Tatsuya Fukuyama +2
Controlling the collective motion of epithelial cell populations is fundamental for understanding multicellular self-organization and for advancing tissue engineering. Under spatia…
Myosin-driven advection and actin reorganization control the geometry of confined actomyosin gel
Archit Negi, Ryota Sakamoto, Makito Miyazaki +1
Harnessing nanoscale motor proteins to actively control material shape is a promising strategy in nanotechnology and material science. One notable system is the actomyosin network,…
Controlling topological defects and contractile flow in confined nematic cell population
Ryo Ienaga, Kazusa Beppu, Yusuke T. Maeda
Topological defects in nematically aligned cell populations play a critical role in modulating collective motion, from microbial colonies to epithelial tissues. Despite the potenti…
Why epithelial cells collectively move against a traveling signal wave
Tatsuya Fukuyama, Hiroyuki Ebata, Akihisa Yamamoto +6
The response of cell populations to external stimuli plays a central role in biological mechanical processes such as epithelial wound healing and developmental morphogenesis. Wave-…
