Electrohydraulic Fields Generated by Active Transport at Tissue Interfaces
Amit Singh Vishen, Ahandeep Manna, Frank Jülicher
Living cells and tissues can generate complex patterns of electric fields and fluid flows which can play important role in physiology. Both, fields and flows are rooted in ion tran…
Geometric Limits of Mitotic Pressure Under Confinement
Amit Singh Vishen
Cells often divide under mechanical confinement, where surrounding structures restrict shape changes during cytokinesis. Although forces generated during confined division have bee…
Stochastic nanoswimmer: a multistate model for enzyme self-propulsion and enhanced diffusion
Amit Singh Vishen, Jacques Prost, Madan Rao
Several enzymes exhibit enhanced diffusion in the presence of a substrate. One explanation of this enhancement arises from fluctuating dimer models, which suggest that enzymes have…
Quantitative comparison of cell-cell detachment force in different experimental setups
Amit Singh Vishen, Jacques Prost, Pierre Sens
We compare three different setups for measuring cell-cell adhesion. We show that the measured strength depends on the type of setup that is used. For identical cells different assa…
