Local Nonlinear Elastic Response of Extracellular Matrices
Haiqian Yang, Estelle Berthier, Chenghai Li +5
Nonlinear stiffening is a ubiquitous property of major types of biopolymers that make up the extracellular matrices (ECM) including collagen, fibrin and basement membrane. Within t…
Nonlinear mechanosensation in fiber networks
Estelle Berthier, Haiqian Yang, Ming Guo +2
In a diversity of physiological contexts, eukaryotic cells adhere to an extracellular matrix (ECM), a disordered network with complex nonlinear mechanics. Such cells can perform me…
Mechanobiology of Collective Cell Migration in 3D Microenvironments
Alex M. Hruska, Haiqian Yang, Susan E. Leggett +2
Tumor cells invade individually or in groups, mediated by mechanical interactions between cells and their surrounding matrix. These multicellular dynamics are reminiscent of leader…
