Free Growth under Tension
Chenyun Yao, Jens Elgeti
Ever since the ground breaking work of Trepat et al. in 2009, we know that cell colonies growing on a substrate can be under tensile mechanical stress. The origin of tension has so…
The importance of being discrete -- An agent-based model for active nematics and more
Mathieu Dedenon, Carles Blanch-Mercader, Karsten Kruse +1
We propose an agent-based model of active flexible rods. Inspired by cytoskeletal flows, we introduce activity by an internal flow that contributes to the dissipative forces. The a…
Viscotaxis of Beating Flagella at Surfaces
Shubham Anand, Jens Elgeti, Gerhard Gompper
Many biological microorganisms and artificial microswimmers react to external cues of environmental gradients by changing their swimming directions. We study here the behavior of e…
Mechanically-driven Stem Cell Separation in Tissues caused by Proliferating Daughter Cells
Johannes C. Krämer, Edouard Hannezo, Gerhard Gompper +1
The homeostasis of epithelial tissue relies on a balance between the self-renewal of stem cell populations, cellular differentiation, and loss. Although this balance needs to be ti…
Multi-Ciliated Microswimmers -- Metachronal Coordination and Helical Swimming
Sebastian Rode, Jens Elgeti, Gerhard Gompper
The dynamics and motion of multi-ciliated microswimmers with a spherical body and a small number N (with 5 < N < 60) of cilia with length comparable to the body radius, is investig…
A minimal model for structure, dynamics, and tension of monolayered cell colonies
Debarati Sarkar, Gerhard Gompper, Jens Elgeti
The motion of cells in tissues is an ubiquitous phenomenon. In particular, in monolayered cell colonies in vitro, pronounced collective behavior with swirl-like motion has been obs…
