Stem cell mechanical behaviour modelling: substrate’s curvature influence during adhesion
Recent experiments hint that adherent cells are sensitive to their substrate curvature. It is already well known that cells behaviour can be regulated by the mechanical properties of their environment. However, no mechanisms have been established regarding the influence of cell-scale curvature of the substrate. Using a numerical cell model, based on tensegrity structures theory and the non-smoo...
متن کاملModelling cell migration and adhesion during development.
Cell-cell adhesion is essential for biological development: cells migrate to their target sites, where cell-cell adhesion enables them to aggregate and form tissues. Here, we extend analysis of the model of cell migration proposed by Anguige and Schmeiser (J. Math. Biol. 58(3):395-427, 2009) that incorporates both cell-cell adhesion and volume filling. The stochastic space-jump model is compare...
متن کاملModelling, Simulation and Visualisation of Stem Cell Behaviour
We are part of a multi-disciplinary team investigating new understandings of stem cell behaviour. The project is a collaboration between an artist (Jane Prophet), a mathematician (Mark d’Inverno), a stem cell researcher (Neil Theise), an Artificial life (Alife) programmer (Rob Saunders), and a curator/producer (Peter Ride). Theise has novel ideas about how adult stem cells behave and organise t...
متن کاملCell-cell mechanical communication through compliant substrates.
The role of matrix mechanics on cell behavior is under intense investigation. Cells exert contractile forces on their matrix and the matrix elasticity can alter these forces and cell migratory behavior. However, little is known about the contribution of matrix mechanics and cell-generated forces to stable cell-cell contact and tissue formation. Using matrices of varying stiffness and measuremen...
متن کاملModelling the mechanical behaviour of expansive clays
A simple formalism is presented to model the behaviour of expansive clays. Two levels of structure are considered. The behaviour of the macrostructure follows the model developed for unsaturated materials by Alonso et al. [Géotechnique 40 (3) (1990) 405–430]. The behaviour of the microstructure is adapted from the work of Gens and Alonso [Can. Geotech. J. 29 (1992) 1013–1032] in order to includ...
