DOI: 10.1007/s10853-017-0999-4
Abstract: Plant tissue represents cellular material with multiple structural hierarchies enabling a wide range of multifunctionalities and extraordinary mechanical properties. However, it is yet to be elucidated how subcellular-scale mechanical properties and cell-to-cell interactions by a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12551-020-00722-4
Abstract: The perception of biophysical forces (mechanosensation) and their conversion into chemical signals (mechanotransduction) are fundamental biological processes. They are connected to hypertrophic and atrophic cellular responses, and defects in these processes have been linked to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2016.11.2323
Abstract: Epithelial monolayers are a classic system of active matter, in which the component particles (cells) endogenously generate forces and change their own shapes without external stimuli. The mechanics of single cells and circular colonies of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-02218-4
Abstract: The shape of a cell within tissues can represent the history of chemical and physical signals that it encounters, but can information from cell shape regulate cellular phenotype independently? Using optimal control theory to constrain… read more here.
