ToFiE, a Topology-aware Fiber Extraction workflow for 3D reconstruction of dense and heterogeneous biological fiber networks from microscopy images
Risa Togo, Sara Cardona, Irène Nagle +3
Fibrous networks are ubiquitous structural components in biology, spanning cellulose in plant cell walls, fibrin in blood clots, and collagen in the extracellular matrix of animal…
Cell spheroid viscoelasticity is deformation-dependent
Ruben C. Boot, Anouk van der Net, Christos Gogou +4
Tissue surface tension influences cell sorting and tissue fusion. Earlier mechanical studies suggest that multicellular spheroids actively reinforce their surface tension with appl…
How cytoskeletal crosstalk makes cells move: bridging cell-free and cell studies
James P. Conboy, Irene Istúriz Petitjean, Anouk van der Net +1
Cell migration is a fundamental process for life and is highly dependent on the dynamical and mechanical properties of the cytoskeleton. Intensive physical and biochemical crosstal…
Effects of local incompressibility on the rheology of composite biopolymer networks
Anupama Gannavarapu, Sadjad Arzash, Iain Muntz +4
Fibrous networks such as collagen are common in biological systems. Recent theoretical and experimental efforts have shed light on the mechanics of single component networks. Most…
High-throughput mechanophenotyping of multicellular spheroids using a microfluidic micropipette aspiration chip
R. C. Boot, A. Roscani, L. van Buren +3
Cell spheroids are in vitro multicellular model systems that mimic the crowded micro-environment of biological tissues. Their mechanical characterization can provide valuable insig…
Actomyosin-driven division of a synthetic cell
Lucia Baldauf, Lennard van Buren, Federico Fanalista +1
One of the major challenges of bottom-up synthetic biology is rebuilding a minimal division machinery. The animal cell division apparatus is mechanically the simplest, in which an…
