Turbulent dynamics of epithelial cell cultures
C. Blanch-Mercader, V. Yashunsky, S. Garcia +3
In vitro epithelial monolayers exhibit a rich repertoire of collective dynamical behaviours according to microenvironment mechanical features. We investigate the statistical and dy…
Geometry and mechanics of microdomains in growing bacterial colonies
Zhihong You, Daniel J. G. Pearce, Anupam Sengupta +1
Bacterial colonies are abundant on living and nonliving surfaces and are known to mediate a broad range of processes in ecology, medicine, and industry. Although extensively resear…
Cytoskeletal Anisotropy Controls Geometry and Forces of Adherent Cells
Wim Pomp, Koen Schakenraad, Hayri E. Balcioğlu +5
We investigate the geometrical and mechanical properties of adherent cells characterized by a highly anisotropic actin cytoskeleton. Using a combination of theoretical work and exp…
