Compressive Instabilities Enable Cell-Induced Extreme Densification Patterns in the Fibrous Extracellular Matrix: Discrete Model Predictions
Chrysovalantou Kalaitzidou, Georgios Grekas, Andreas Zilian +2
Through modelling and simulations we show that material instabilities play a dominant role in the mechanical behavior of the fibrous collagen Extracellular Matrix (ECM), as observe…
Cells exploit a phase transition to mechanically remodel the fibrous extracellular matrix
Georgios Grekas, Maria Proestaki, Phoebus Rosakis +3
Through mechanical forces, biological cells remodel the surrounding collagen network, generating striking deformation patterns. Tethers-tracts of high densification and fiber align…
A Minimal Mechanosensing Model Predicts Keratocyte Evolution on Flexible Substrates
Zhiwen Zhang, Phoebus Rosakis, Thomas Y. Hou +1
A mathematical model is proposed for shape evolution and locomotion of fish epidermal keratocytes on elastic substrates. The model is based on mechanosensing concepts: cells apply…
