Nuclear mechanics controls the temporal dynamics of cell unjamming
Leon Hillmann, Quirine J. S. Braat, Pablo Gottheil +9
Cell unjamming in dense tissues is a complex but essential process in embryogenesis and cancer metastasis. Increasing evidence suggests that nuclear mechanics and density effects p…
Shape matters: Inferring the motility of confluent cells from static images
Quirine J. S. Braat, Giulia Janzen, Bas C. Jansen +3
Cell motility in dense cell collectives is pivotal in various diseases like cancer metastasis and asthma. A central aspect in these phenomena is the heterogeneity in cell motility,…
Formation of motile cell clusters in heterogeneous model tumors: the role of cell-cell alignment
Quirine J. S. Braat, Cornelis Storm, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
Circulating tumor cell clusters play an important role in the metastatic cascade. These clusters can acquire a migratory and more invasive phenotype, and coordinate their motion to…
Microscopic theory for nonequilibrium correlation functions in dense active fluids
Vincent E. Debets, Lila Sarfati, Thomas Voigtmann +1
One of the key hallmarks of dense active matter in the liquid, supercooled, and solid phases is so-called equal-time velocity correlations. Crucially, these correlations can emerge…
Rejuvenation and memory effects in active glasses induced by thermal and active cycling
Giulia Janzen, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
It has recently been shown that thermal active glasses can display physical aging behavior comparable to that of passive glasses, although there are some notable distinctions due t…
Unveiling the anatomy of mode-coupling theory
I. Pihlajamaa, V. E. Debets, C. C. L. Laudicina +1
The mode-coupling theory of the glass transition (MCT) has been at the forefront of fundamental glass research for decades, yet the theory's underlying approximations remain obscur…
