A two-dimensional vertex model for curvy cell-cell interfaces at the subcellular scale
Kyungeun Kim, J. M. Schwarz, Martine Ben Amar
Cross-sections of cell shapes in a tissue monolayer typically resemble a tiling of convex polygons. Yet, examples exist where the polygons are not convex with curved cell-cell inte…
Osmotic stress affects functional properties of human melanoma cell lines
Caterina A. M. La Porta, Anna Ghilardi, Maria Pasini +4
Understanding the role of microenvironment in cancer growth and metastasis is a key issue for cancer research. Here, we study the effect of osmotic pressure on the functional prope…
Self-contact and instabilities in the anisotropic growth of elastic membranes
Norbert Stoop, Falk K. Wittel, Martine Ben Amar +2
We investigate the morphology of thin discs and rings growing in the circumferential direction. Recent analytical results suggest that this growth produces symmetric excess cones (…
