Exotic rheology of materials with active rearrangements
Aondoyima Ioratim-Uba, Tanniemola B. Liverpool, Silke Henkes
The flow of biological tissues during development is controlled through the active stresses generated by cells interacting with their mechanical environment in the tissue. Many dev…
Correlated cell movements drive epithelial finger formation
Sander C. Kammeraat, Yann-Edwin Keta, Paul Appleton +5
Epithelia form protective barriers in multicellular organisms. To maintain homeostasis, they must be able to regenerate and heal damaged areas. This occurs through collective cell…
Colloidal Pivots Enable Brownian Metamaterials and Machines
Julio Melio, Martin van Hecke, Silke E. Henkes +1
Biological machines harness targeted deformations that can be actuated by Brownian fluctuations. However, while synthetic micromachines can similarly leverage targeted deformations…
