Local shear induces long-range suppression of cellular motion in stiff epithelial monolayers
Shahar Nahum, Adi Y. Elkabetz, Matan Elbaz +3
As small particles skim our airways during breathing, or our intestines during digestion, the surface epithelium is subjected to local exogenous shear that deforms hundreds to thou…

A self-organized compression network arrests epithelial proliferation
Liav Daraf, Yael Lavi, Areej Saleem +3
As epithelial development or wound closure approaches completion, cell proliferation progressively slows via contact inhibition of proliferation (CIP) - a mechanism understood as b…

Cell Shape Emerges from Motion
Gautham Gopinath, Emmanuel Y. Mintah, Aashrith Saraswathibhatla +6
We perform cell segmentation on images from experimental studies of confluent, mobile cells in epithelial monolayers and show that these systems possess a broad, positively-skewed…
