Homeostatic Fluctuations of a Tissue Surface
Thomas Risler, Aurélien Peilloux, Jacques Prost
We study the surface fluctuations of a tissue with a dynamics dictated by cell-rearrangement, cell-division, and cell-death processes. Surface fluctuations are calculated in the ho…
Focus on the Physics of Cancer
Thomas Risler
Despite the spectacular achievements of molecular biology in the second half of the twentieth century and the crucial advances it permitted in cancer research, the fight against ca…
Damping Properties of the Hair Bundle
Johannes Baumgart, Andrei S. Kozlov, Thomas Risler +1
The viscous liquid surrounding a hair bundle dissipates energy and dampens oscillations, which poses a fundamental physical challenge to the high sensitivity and sharp frequency se…
Tension-oriented cell divisions limit anisotropic tissue tension in epithelial spreading during zebrafish epiboly
Pedro Campinho, Martin Behrndt, Jonas Ranft +3
Epithelial spreading is a common and fundamental aspect of various developmental and disease-related processes such as epithelial closure and wound healing. A key challenge for epi…
A Reaction-Diffusion Model of the Cadherin-Catenin System: A Possible Mechanism for Contact Inhibition and Implications for Tumorigenesis
Markus Basan, Timon Idema, Martin Lenz +2
Contact inhibition is the process by which cells switch from a motile growing state to a passive and stabilized state upon touching their neighbors. When two cells touch, an adhesi…
