Active curling of epithelial monolayers dominated by actin cytoskeleton mechanics - PubMed
1 1
Active curling of epithelial tissues, as an indispensable component of developmental morphogenesis, occurs frequently both in vivo and in vitro microenvironments. Deciphering the mechanisms underlying the active curling of epithelial monolayers is crucial for understanding many physiological and pat …

Localized spatiotemporal dynamics in active fluids - PubMed
1 1
From cytoskeletal networks to tissues, many biological systems behave as active materials. Their composition and stress generation is affected by chemical reaction networks. In such systems, the coupling between mechanics and chemistry enables self-organization, for example, into waves. Recently, co …

Interplay of geometry and mechanics in epithelial wound healing - PubMed
1 1
Wound healing is a complex biological process critical for maintaining an organism's structural integrity and tissue repair following an infection or injury. Recent studies have unveiled the mechanisms involving the coordination of biochemical and mechanical responses in the tissue in wound healing. …
