Origin of yield stress and mechanical plasticity in model biological tissues
Anh Q. Nguyen, Junxiang Huang, Dapeng Bi
During development and under normal physiological conditions, biological tissues are continuously subjected to substantial mechanical stresses. In response to large deformations ce…
Spatial Confinement Affects the Heterogeneity and Interactions Between Shoaling Fish
Gabriel Kuntz, Junxiang Huang, Mitchell Rask +4
Living objects are able to consume chemical energy and process information independently from others. However, living objects can coordinate to form ordered groups such as schools…
Bridging the Gap Between Collective Motility and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transitions through the Active Finite Voronoi Model
Junxiang Huang, Herbert Levine, Dapeng Bi
We introduce an active version of the recently proposed finite Voronoi model of epithelial tissue. The resultant Active Finite Voronoi (AFV) model enables the study of both conflue…
Constitutive model for the rheology of biological tissue
Suzanne M. Fielding, James O. Cochran, Junxiang Huang +2
The rheology of biological tissue is key to processes such as embryo development, wound healing and cancer metastasis. Vertex models of confluent tissue monolayers have uncovered a…
Shear-driven solidification and nonlinear elasticity in epithelial tissues
Junxiang Huang, James O. Cochran, Suzanne M. Fielding +2
Biological processes, from morphogenesis to tumor invasion, spontaneously generate shear stresses inside living tissue. The mechanisms that govern the transmission of mechanical fo…
Broken ergodicity of right triangular billiard systems
Junxiang Huang, Hong Zhao
A right triangular billiard system is equivalent to the system of two colliding particles confined in a one-dimensional box. In spite of their seeming simplicity, no definite concl…
