Divergence of detachment forces in the finite Voronoi model
Wei Wang, Brian A. Camley
Detachment and fracture are central to many tissue-level processes, but they are challenging to simulate with Voronoi-type models that typically assume a confluent tissue. Here we…
Perfect adaptation in eukaryotic gradient sensing using cooperative allosteric binding
Vishnu Srinivasan, Wei Wang, Brian A. Camley
Eukaryotic cells generally sense chemical gradients using the binding of chemical ligands to membrane receptors. In order to perform chemotaxis effectively in different environment…
Controlling tissue size by active fracture
Wei Wang, Brian A. Camley
Groups of cells, including clusters of cancerous cells, multicellular organisms, and developing organs, may both grow and break apart. What physical factors control these fractures…
Limits on the accuracy of contact inhibition of locomotion
Wei Wang, Brian A. Camley
Cells that collide with each other repolarize away from contact, in a process called contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL), which is necessary for correct development of the embry…
Tradeoffs in concentration sensing in dynamic environments
Aparajita Kashyap, Wei Wang, Brian A. Camley
When cells measure concentrations of chemical signals, they may average multiple measurements over time in order to reduce noise in their measurements. However, when cells are in a…
