Probing and modeling cell-cell communication in 2D biomimetic tissues
Cécile Marie Vincent, Sapna Ravindran, Alexis Michel Prevost +3
In tissues, cells in direct physical contact with each other can exchange ions or molecules via protein clusters called gap junctions that form channels across the membranes of adj…
Design and optimization of in situ self-functionalizing stress sensors
Olga Vasiljevic, Nicolas Harmand, Antoine Hubert +7
Mechanical contributions are crucial regulators of diverse biological processes, yet their \textit{in vivo} measurement remains challenging due to limitations of current techniques…
Adhesion differentials control the rheology of biomimetic emulsions
Quentin Guigue, Marc Besse, Raphael Voituriez +4
Animal morphogenesis involves complex tissue deformation processes, which require tight control over tissue rheology. Yet, it remains insufficiently understood how tissue rheology…
A Tactile Void
Pierre Tapie, Diogo Barreiros Scatamburlo, Antoine Chateauminois +1
We mimic the mechanical response of touch mechanoreceptors by that of a gas cavity embedded in an elastic semi-cylinder, as a fingertip analogue. Using tribological experiments com…
