Local polar order controls mechanical stress and triggers layer formation in developing Myxococcus xanthus colonies
Endao Han, Chenyi Fei, Ricard Alert +4
Colonies of the social bacterium Myxococcus xanthus go through a morphological transition from a thin colony of cells to three-dimensional droplet-like fruiting bodies as a strateg…

Single microtubules and small networks become significantly stiffer on short time-scales upon mechanical stimulation
M. D. Koch, N. Schneider, P. Nick +1
The transfer of mechanical signals through cells is a complex phenomenon. To uncover a new mechanotransduction pathway, we study the frequency-dependent transport of mechanical sti…

Collective force generation by groups of migrating bacteria
Benedikt Sabass, Howard A. Stone, Joshua W. Shaevitz
From biofilm and colony formation in bacteria to wound healing and embryonic development in multicellular organisms, groups of living cells must often move collectively. While cons…
