Shear effects in active models of normal and cancer cells
Souvik Sadhukhan, Rajsekhar Das, Lin Zhao +2
Mechanical properties of biological tissues, driven by passive and active forces, play a vital role in several processes ranging from development to cancer metastasis. However, the…

Emergence of cellular nematic order is a conserved feature of gastrulation in animal embryos
Xin Li, Robert J. Huebner, Margot L. K. Williams +4
Cells undergo dramatic morphological changes during embryogenesis, yet how these changes affect the formation of ordered tissues remains elusive. Here, we show that a phase transit…

Controlling the morphologies and dynamics in three-dimensional tissues
Rajsekhar Das, Xin Li, Sumit Sinha +1
A number of factors, such as, cell-cell interactions and self-propulsion of cells driven by cytoskeletal forces determine tissue morphologies and dynamics. To explore the interplay…
