Non-monotonic fluidization generated by fluctuating edge tensions in confluent tissues
Takaki Yamamoto, Daniel M. Sussman, Tatsuo Shibata +1
In development and homeostasis, multi-cellular systems exhibit spatial and temporal heterogeneity in their biochemical and mechanical properties. Nevertheless, it remains unclear h…
A simple and broadly-applicable definition of shear transformation zones
David Richard, Geert Kapteijns, Julia A. Giannini +2
Plastic deformation in amorphous solids is known to be carried by stress-induced localized rearrangements of a few tens of particles, accompanied by the conversion of elastic energ…
How does the extracellular matrix affect the rigidity of an embedded spheroid?
Amanda Parker, M. Cristina Marchetti, M. Lisa Manning +1
Cellularized tissue and polymer networks can both transition from floppy to rigid as a function of their control parameters, and, yet, the two systems often mechanically interact,…
Anisotropy links cell shapes to tissue flow during convergent extension
Xun Wang, Matthias Merkel, Leo B. Sutter +3
Within developing embryos, tissues flow and reorganize dramatically on timescales as short as minutes. This includes epithelial tissues, which often narrow and elongate in converge…
The cell adaptation time sets a minimum length scale for patterned substrates
Diogo E. P. Pinto, Gonca Erdemci-Tandogan, M. Lisa Manning +1
The structure and dynamics of tissue cultures depend strongly on the physical and chemical properties of the underlying substrate. Inspired by previous advances in the context of i…
Predicting plasticity in disordered solids from structural indicators
D. Richard, M. Ozawa, S. Patinet +16
Amorphous solids lack long-range order. Therefore identifying structural defects -- akin to dislocations in crystalline solids -- that carry plastic flow in these systems remains a…
