Thickness of epithelia on wavy substrates: measurements and continuous models
Nicolas Harmand, Julien Dervaux, Christophe Poulard +1
We measured the thickness of MDCK epithelia grown on substrates with a sinusoidal profile. We show that while at long wavelength the profile of the epithelium follows that of the s…

Sliding of liquid droplets on thin viscoelastic soft layers
Menghua Zhao, Julien Dervaux, Tetsuharu Narita +3
Soft substrates are deformed by liquid-vapor surface tension upon contact with liquid droplets, forming the well-known wetting ridge. This ridge dynamically propagates with the mov…
