Pinned Boundaries Delay Contraction and Shape Stress Relaxation in Active Gels
Aniket Marne, James Clarke, Aravind Rao +6
Cells dynamically generate, transmit, and dissipate stress. Central to these processes is the actomyosin cortex, an active contractile material that drives cellular mechanical beha…

Fluctuation spectra of embryonic cell-cell interfaces reveal inverse-square scaling
Brian Huynh, Shinuo Weng, José Alvarado
Tissue-scale shape changes are driven by ensembles of intracellular forces. However measuring force in these contexts remains a difficult challenge. Here we perform spectral analys…
