An interpenetrating-network theory of cytoplasm
Haiqian Yang, Thomas Henzel, Eric M. Stewart +2
Under many physiological and pathological conditions such as division and migration, cells undergo dramatic deformations, under which their mechanical integrity is supported by cyt…
Cell contraction induces long-ranged stress stiffening in the extracellular matrix
Yu Long Han, Pierre Ronceray, Guoqiang Xu +5
Animal cells in tissues are supported by biopolymer matrices, which typically exhibit highly nonlinear mechanical properties. While the linear elasticity of the matrix can signific…
Activity driven fluctuations in living cells
É. Fodor, M. Guo, N. S. Gov +3
We propose a model for the dynamics of a probe embedded in a living cell, where both thermal fluctuations and nonequilibrium activity coexist. The model is based on a confining har…
