Chromatin and cytoskeletal tethering determine nuclear morphology in progerin expressing cells
M. C. Lionetti, S. Bonfanti, M. R. Fumagalli +6
The nuclear morphology of eukaryotic cells is determined by the interplay between the lamina forming the nuclear skeleton, the chromatin inside the nucleus and the coupling with th…
Protein driven lipid domain nucleation in biological membranes
Moritz Hoferer, Silvia Bonfanti, Alessandro Taloni +2
Lipid rafts are heterogeneous dynamic lipid domains of the cell membranes that are involved in several biological processes, like protein and lipids specific transport and signalin…
From jamming to collective cell migration through a boundary induced transition
Oleksandr Chepizhko, Maria Chiara Lionetti, Chiara Malinverno +3
Cell monolayers provide an interesting example of active matter, exhibiting a phase transition from a flowing to jammed state as they age. Here we report experiments and numerical…
Bursts of activity in collective cell migration
Oleksandr Chepizhko, Costanza Giampietro, Eleonora Mastrapasqua +11
Dense monolayers of living cells display intriguing relaxation dynamics, reminiscent of soft and glassy materials close to the jamming transition, and migrate collectively when spa…
Deformation and fracture of echinoderm collagen networks
Markus Ovaska, Zsolt Bertalan, Amandine Miksic +8
Collagen networks provide the main structural component of most tissues and represent an important ingredient for bio-mimetic materials for bio-medical applications. Here we study…
Volume changes during active shape fluctuations in cells
Alessandro Taloni, Elena Kardash, Oguz Umut Salman +3
Cells modify their volume in response to changes in osmotic pressure but it is usually assumed that other active shape variations do not involve significant volume fluctuations. He…
