Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of anisotropic tissue growth

TL;DR: If cell division and apoptosis balance, there is no net growth, but for anisotropic cell division the tissue undergoes spontaneous shear deformations, and it is shown that average cellular trajectories exhibit anisotrop scaling behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bipedal Locomotion in Crawling Cells

TL;DR: This work presents a physical description of keratocyte oscillation in which periodic retraction of the trailing edge is the result of elastic coupling with the leading edge, and measures spontaneous shape and movement oscillations in motile fish epithelial keratocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guiding Self-organized Pattern Formation in Cell Polarity Establishment

TL;DR: A study of how single C. elegans cells establish the polarity required for cell division reveals a general principle for pattern formation in living systems controlled by biochemical cues, including a general criterion for controlling biological pattern-forming systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robust formation of morphogen gradients.

TL;DR: It is shown that, in contrast to morphogen transport by extracellular diffusion, transcytosis leads to robust ligand profiles which are insensitive to the rate of ligand production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic Fluctuations of Semiflexible Filaments

TL;DR: In this article, the longitudinal and transverse fluctuations of a semidefinite filament were studied using scaling arguments and numerical simulations, and several regimes for the longitudinal fluctuations which, for short times, scale as
