Tumor-induced lipid loss physically accelerates breast cancer invasion into mammary adipose tissue

Garrett F. Beeghly, Dong Wang, Bo Ri Seo +8

Obesity is a major risk factor for breast cancer, yet how obesity-associated changes in the physical properties of white adipose tissue (WAT) influence tumor invasion remains poorl…

Effect of sub-critical fluid shear flow on granular bed strength

Dong Wang, Sophie Bodek, Nicholas T. Ouellette +2

Interactions between fluids and granular materials are prevalent on the Earth's surface. In the case of fluid flow over a sediment bed, the fluid imparts a shear stress to the gran…

Preserving elastic anisotropy with tessellations of granular packings

Annie Z. Xia, Dong Wang, Catherine La Riviere +3

Multiscale periodic metamaterials have been designed for numerous applications, such as impact absorption, acoustic cloaking, photonic band gaps, and mechanical logic gates. This p…

Particle-scale origin of quadrupolar non-affine displacement fields in granular solids

Evan P. Willmarth, Weiwei Jin, Dong Wang +4

In this work, we identify the local structural defects that control the non-affine displacement fields in jammed disk packings subjected to athermal, quasistatic (AQS) simple shear…

Evolution of Adaptive Force Chains in Reconfigurable Granular Metamaterials

Sven Witthaus, Atoosa Parsa, Dong Wang +7

Under an externally applied load, granular packings form force chains that depend on the contact network and moduli of the grains. In this work, we investigate packings of variable…

Tuning the Size and Stiffness of Inflatable Particles

Nidhi Pashine, Dong Wang, Robert Baines +4

We describe size-varying cylindrical particles made from silicone elastomers that can serve as building blocks for robotic granular materials. The particle size variation, which is…

Computational modeling of the physical features that influence breast cancer invasion into adipose tissue

Yitong Zheng, Dong Wang, Garrett Beeghly +3

Breast cancer invasion into adipose tissue strongly influences disease progression and metastasis. The degree of cancer cell invasion into adipose tissue depends on numerous bioche…
