Chiral edge currents in confined fibrosarcoma cells
V. Yashunsky, D. J. G. Pearce, C. Blanch-Mercader +3
During metastatic dissemination, streams of cells collectively migrate through a network of narrow channels within the extracellular matrix, before entering into the blood stream.…
The 2019 Motile Active Matter Roadmap
Gerhard Gompper, Roland G. Winkler, Thomas Speck +34
Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental in living and engineering systems. This has stimulated the new field of active matter in recent years, which focuses on the physical…
Collective stresses drive competition between monolayers of normal and Ras-transformed cells
Sarah Moitrier, Carles Blanch-Mercader, Simon Garcia +6
We study the competition for space between two cell lines that differ only in the expression of the Ras oncogene. The two cell populations are initially separated and set to migrat…
Turbulent dynamics of epithelial cell cultures
C. Blanch-Mercader, V. Yashunsky, S. Garcia +3
In vitro epithelial monolayers exhibit a rich repertoire of collective dynamical behaviours according to microenvironment mechanical features. We investigate the statistical and dy…
Tissue fusion over non-adhering surfaces
V. Nier, M. Deforet, G. Duclos +4
Tissue fusion eliminates physical voids in a tissue to form a continuous structure and is central to many processes in development and repair. Fusion events in vivo, particularly i…
Border forces and friction control epithelial closure dynamics
Olivier Cochet-Escartin, Jonas Ranft, Pascal Silberzan +1
Epithelization, the process whereby an epithelium covers a cell-free surface, is not only central to wound healing but also pivotal in embryonic morphogenesis, regeneration, and ca…
