Correlating cell shape and cellular stress in motile confluent tissues.
Collective cell migration is a highly regulated process involved in wound healing, cancer metastasis, and morphogenesis. Mechanical interactions among cells provide an important regulatory mechanism to coordinate such collective motion. Using a self-propelled Voronoi (SPV) model that links cell mechanics to cell shape and cell motility, we formulate a generalized mechanical inference method to ...
متن کاملFlocking in
climate was rare heavy rainfall in western Queensland. And a result has been enormous flocks of the popular pet bird, budgerigars. The birds have had a breeding boom as a result of the grasses that have seeded after the rains. “I have been here since 1983 and never seen anything like it, Ann Britton, a resident of Boulia, told Queensland’s Courier and Mail. “My father, who has travelled extensi...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in a Kinetic Flocking Model of Cucker-Smale Type
We consider a collective behavior model in which individuals try to imitate each others’ velocity and have a preferred speed. We show that a phase change phenomenon takes place as diffusion decreases, bringing the system from a “disordered” to an “ordered” state. This effect is related to recently noticed phenomena for the diffusive Vicsek model. We also carry out numerical simulations of the s...
متن کاملA geometrically controlled rigidity transition in a model for confluent 3D tissues
The origin of rigidity in disordered materials is an outstanding open problem in statistical physics. Previously, a class of 2D cellular models has been shown to undergo a rigidity transition controlled by a mechanical parameter that specifies cell shapes. Here, we generalize this model to 3D and find a rigidity transition that is similarly controlled by the preferred surface area: the model is...
متن کامل∆k-Confluent and Ok-Confluent Graphs
In this paper we extend the concept of ∆-confluence to ∆k-confluence by allowing more generalized junctions, called ∆k-junctions. We present an algorithm for recognizing graphs that are ∆k-confluent. We then generalize ∆k-confluence to Ok-confluence by allowing non-intersecting chords within a junction, resulting in Ok-junctions. We present an algorithm for recognizing graphs that are Ok-conflu...
