Growth, collapse, and stalling in a mechanical model for neurite motility
Pierre Recho, Antoine Jérusalem, Alain Goriely
Neurites, the long cellular protrusions that form the routes of the neuronal network are capable to actively extend during early morphogenesis or to regenerate after trauma. To per…
Pseudo energy wells in active systems
Raman Sheshka, Pierre Recho, Lev Truskinovsky
Active stabilization in systems with zero or negative stiffness is an essential element of a wide variety of biological processes. We study a prototypical example of this phenomeno…
Maximum velocity of self-propulsion for an active segment
Pierre Recho, Lev Truskinovsky
The motor part of a crawling eukaryotic cell can be represented schematically as an active continuum layer. The main active processes in this layer are protrusion, originating from…
Mechanics of motility initiation and motility arrest in crawling cells
Pierre Recho, Thibaut Putelat, Lev Truskinovsky
Motility initiation in crawling cells requires transformation of a symmetric state into a polarized state. In contrast, motility arrest is associated with re-symmetrization of the…
