Chase-and-run dynamics in cell motility and the molecular rupture of interacting active elastic dimers
David Mayett, Nicholas Bitten, Moumita Das +1
Cell migration in morphogenesis and cancer metastasis typically involves interplay between different cell types. We construct and study a minimal, one-dimensional model comprised o…
Rigid cluster decomposition reveals criticality in frictional jamming
Silke Henkes, David A. Quint, Y. Fily +1
We study the nature of the frictional jamming transition within the framework of rigidity percolation theory. Slowly sheared frictional packings are decomposed into rigid clusters…
Shape-shifting droplet networks
T. Zhang, Duanduan Wan, J. M. Schwarz +1
We consider a three-dimensional network of aqueous droplets joined by single lipid bilayers to form a cohesive, tissue-like material. The droplets in these networks can be programm…
The mechanics of anisotropic spring networks
T. Zhang, J. M. Schwarz, Moumita Das
We construct and analyze a model for a disordered linear spring network with anisotropy. The modeling is motivated by, for example, granular systems, nematic elastomers, and ultima…
Active elastic dimers: Cells moving on rigid tracks
J. H. Lopez, Moumita Das, J. M. Schwarz
Experiments suggest that the migration of some cells in the three-dimensional extra cellular matrix bears strong resemblance to one-dimensional cell migration. Motivated by this ob…
