Chemo-mechanical model of a cell as a stochastic active gel
Vikram Deshpande, Antonio DeSimone, Robert McMeeking +1
While it is commonly observed that the shape dynamics of mammalian cells can undergo large random fluctuations, theoretical models aiming at capturing cell mechanics often focus on…
Mechanical behavior of multi-cellular spheroids under osmotic compression
Monika Dolega, Giuseppe Zurlo, Magali Le Goff +5
The internal and external mechanical environment plays an important role in tumorogenesis. As a proxy of an avascular early state tumor, we use multicellular spheroids, a composite…
A tug-of-war between stretching and bending in living cell sheets
Pierre Recho, Jonathan Fouchard, Tom Wyatt +3
The balance between stretching and bending deformations characterizes shape transitions of thin elastic sheets. While stretching dominates the mechanical response in tension, bendi…
Active gel segment behaving as an active particle
Pierre Recho, Thibaut Putelat, Lev Truskinovsky
We reduce a one-dimensional model of an active segment (AS), which is used, for instance, in the description of contraction driven cell motility on tracks, to a zero-dimensional mo…
Crawling in a fluid
Alexander Farutin, Jocelyn Etienne, Chaouqi Misbah +1
There is increasing evidence that mammalian cells not only crawl on substrates but can also swim in fluids. To elucidate the mechanisms of the onset of motility of cells in suspens…
On the quasi-static effective behaviour of poroelastic media containing elastic inclusions
Pascale Royer, Pierre Recho, Claude Verdier
The aim of the present study is to derive the effective quasi-static behaviour of a composite medium, made of a poroelastic matrix containing elastic impervious inclusions. For thi…
