Role of cilia activity and surrounding viscous fluid on properties of metachronal waves
Supravat Dey, Gladys Massiera, Estelle Pitard
Large groups of active cilia collectively beat in a fluid medium as metachronal waves, essential for some microorganisms motility and for flow generation in mucociliary clearance.…
Vegetable oil hybrid films cross-linked at the air-water interface: formation kinetics and physical characterization
Antigoni Theodoratou, Laurent Bonnet, Philippe Dieudonne-George +7
Vegetable oil based hybrid films were developed thanks to a novel solvent- and heating- free method at the air-water interface using silylated castor oil cross-linked via a sol-gel…
Role of spatial heterogeneity on the collective dynamics of cilia beating in a minimal 1D model
Supravat Dey, Gladys Massiera, Estelle Pitard
Cilia are elastic hairlike protuberances of the cell membrane found in various unicellular organisms and in several tissues of most living organisms. In some tissues such as the ai…
Sensitive detection of ultra-weak adhesion states of vesicles by interferometric microscopy
Huang Zen-Hong, Gladys Massiera, Laurent Limozin +3
We have used an original analysis of reflection interference contrast microscopy (RICM) to detect an ultra-weak specific interaction between a glycolipid vesicle and a lectin-coate…
Anharmonic vs. relaxational sound damping in glasses: I. Brillouin scattering from densified silica
E. Rat, M. Foret, G. Massiera +4
This series discusses the origin of sound damping and dispersion in glasses. In particular, we address the relative importance of anharmonicity versus thermally activated relaxatio…
Power-law rheology and mechano-sensing in a cytoskeleton model with forced protein unfolding
Brenton D. Hoffman, Gladys Massiera, John C. Crocker
We describe a model of cytoskeletal mechanics based on the force-induced conformational change of protein cross-links in a stressed polymer network. Slow deformation of simulated n…
