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…
3D shape of epithelial cells on curved substrates
Nicolas Harmand, Sylvie Hénon
It is widely recognized that the shape of epithelial cells is determined by the tension generated by the actomyosin cortex and the adhesion of cells to the substrate and to each ot…
Power laws in microrheology experiments on living cells: comparative analysis and modelling
Martial Balland, Nicolas Desprat, Delphine Icard +5
We compare and synthesize the results of two microrheological experiments on the cytoskeleton of single cells. In the first one, the creep function J(t) of a cell stretched between…
