Collective Motility, Mechanical Waves, and Durotaxis in Cell Clusters
Youyuan Deng, Herbert Levine, Xiaoming Mao +1
Epithelial cell clusters often move collectively on a substrate. Mechanical signals play a major role in organizing this behavior. There are a number of experimental observations i…
Insights from Graph Theory on the Morphologies of Actomyosin Networks with Multilinkers
Yossi Eliaz, Francois Nedelec, Greg Morrison +2
Quantifying the influence of microscopic details on the dynamics of development of the overall structure of a filamentous network is important in a number of biologically relevant…
Understanding cytoskeletal avalanches using mechanical stability analysis
Carlos Floyd, Herbert Levine, Christopher Jarzynski +1
Eukaryotic cells are mechanically supported by a polymer network called the cytoskeleton, which consumes chemical energy to dynamically remodel its structure. Recent experiments in…
