Cell strain-stiffening drives cell breakout from embedded spheroids
Shabeeb Ameen, Kyungeun Kim, Ligesh Theeyancheri +5
Understanding how cells escape from embedded spheroids requires a mechanical framework linking stress generation within cells, across cells, and between cells and the surrounding e…
Enhanced extracellular matrix remodeling due to embedded spheroid fluidization
Tao Zhang, Shabeeb Ameen, Sounok Ghosh +5
Tumor spheroids are in vitro three-dimensional, cellular collectives consisting of cancerous cells. Embedding these spheroids in an in vitro fibrous environment, such as a collagen…
Bacteria colonies modify their shear and compressive mechanical properties in response to different growth substrates
Jakub A. Kochanowski, Bobby Carroll, Merrill E. Asp +2
Bacteria build multicellular communities termed biofilms, which are often encased in a self-secreted extracellular matrix that gives the community mechanical strength and protectio…
How cells wrap around virus-like particles using extracellular filamentous protein structures
Sarthak Gupta, Christian D. Santangelo, Alison E. Patteson +1
Nanoparticles, such as viruses, can enter cells via endocytosis. During endocytosis, the cell surface wraps around the nanoparticle to effectively eat it. Prior focus has been on h…
Bacterial activity hinders particle sedimentation
Jaspreet Singh, Alison E. Patteson, Bryan O. Torres Maldonado +2
Sedimentation in active fluids has come into focus due to the ubiquity of swimming micro-organisms in natural and industrial processes. Here, we investigate sedimentation dynamics…
How do biofilms feel their environment?
Merrill Asp, Minh Tri Ho Thanh, Arvind Gopinath +1
The ability of bacteria to colonize and grow on different surfaces is an essential process for biofilm development and depends on complex biomechanical interactions between the bio…
