Probing and modeling cell-cell communication in 2D biomimetic tissues
Cécile Marie Vincent, Sapna Ravindran, Alexis Michel Prevost +3
In tissues, cells in direct physical contact with each other can exchange ions or molecules via protein clusters called gap junctions that form channels across the membranes of adj…
Design and optimization of in situ self-functionalizing stress sensors
Olga Vasiljevic, Nicolas Harmand, Antoine Hubert +7
Mechanical contributions are crucial regulators of diverse biological processes, yet their \textit{in vivo} measurement remains challenging due to limitations of current techniques…
Adhesion differentials control the rheology of biomimetic emulsions
Quentin Guigue, Marc Besse, Raphael Voituriez +4
Animal morphogenesis involves complex tissue deformation processes, which require tight control over tissue rheology. Yet, it remains insufficiently understood how tissue rheology…
A Tactile Void
Pierre Tapie, Diogo Barreiros Scatamburlo, Antoine Chateauminois +1
We mimic the mechanical response of touch mechanoreceptors by that of a gas cavity embedded in an elastic semi-cylinder, as a fingertip analogue. Using tribological experiments com…
How to make and trap a pseudo-vesicle with a micropipette
Pierre Tapie, Alexis M. Prevost, Lorraine Montel +2
We present a simple method to produce giant lipid pseudo-vesicles (vesicles with an oily cap on the top), trapped in an agarose gel. The method can be implemented using only a regu…
Adhesion as a trigger of droplet polarization in flowing emulsions
Iaroslava Golovkova, Lorraine Montel, Franck Pan +4
Tissues are subjected to large external forces and undergo global deformations during morphogenesis. We use synthetic analogues of tissues to study the impact of cell-cell adhesion…
