Active gel segment behaving as an active particle
Pierre Recho, Thibaut Putelat, Lev Truskinovsky
We reduce a one-dimensional model of an active segment (AS), which is used, for instance, in the description of contraction driven cell motility on tracks, to a zero-dimensional mo…
Colliding cells: when active segments behave as active particles
Pierre Recho, Thibaut Putelat, Lev Truskinovsky
Quantifying the outcomes of cells collisions is a crucial step in building the foundations of a kinetic theory of living matter. Here, we develop a mechanical theory of such collis…
Mechanical stress as a regulator of cell motility
Thibaut Putelat, Pierre Recho, Lev Truskinovsky
The motility of a cell can be triggered or inhibited not only by an applied force but also by a mechanically neutral force couple. This type of loading, represented by an applied s…
