Predicting cell stress and strain during extrusion bioprinting

Sebastian Johannes Müller, Ben Fabry, Stephan Gekle

Bioprinting of living cells can cause major shape deformations, which may severely affect cell survival and functionality. While the shear stresses occurring during cell flow throu…

Detecting long-range interactions between migrating cells

Claus Metzner, Franziska Hörsch, Christoph Mark +4

Chemotaxis enables cells to systematically approach distant targets that emit a diffusible guiding substance. However, the visual observation of an encounter between a cell and a t…

CameraTransform: a Scientific Python Package for Perspective Camera Corrections

Richard Gerum, Sebastian Richter, Alexander Winterl +2

Scientific applications often require an exact reconstruction of object positions and distances from digital images. Therefore, the images need to be corrected for perspective dist…

Stress controls the mechanics of collagen networks

Albert James Licup, Stefan Münster, Abhinav Sharma +5

Collagen is the main structural and load-bearing element of various connective tissues, where it forms the extracellular matrix that supports cells. It has long been known that col…

Bayesian inference of time varying parameters in autoregressive processes

Christoph Mark, Claus Metzner, Ben Fabry

In the autoregressive process of first order AR(1), a homogeneous correlated time series is recursively constructed as , using random Gaussian dev…

Inhomogeneous ensembles of correlated random walkers

F. Stadler, C. Metzner, J. Steinwachs +1

Discrete time random walks, in which a step of random sign but constant length is performed after each time interval , are widely used models for stochastic processes. In…

Reconstructing fiber networks from confocal image stacks

Patrick Krauss, Claus Metzner, Janina Lange +2

We present a numerically efficient method to reconstruct a disordered network of thin biopolymers, such as collagen gels, from three-dimensional (3D) image stacks recorded with a c…

Poresizes in random line networks

Claus Metzner, Patrick Krauss, Ben Fabry

Many natural fibrous networks with fiber diameters much smaller than the average poresize can be described as three-dimensional (3D) random line networks. We consider here a `Mikad…

Contractile prestress controls stiffening and fluidization of living cells in response to large external forces

Philip Kollmannsberger, Claudia T. Mierke, Ben Fabry

We report the simultaneous characterization of time- and force-dependent mechanical properties of adherent cells in the physiologically relevant regime of large forces. We used mag…
