[HTML][HTML] Microrheology of human lung epithelial cells measured by atomic force microscopy
Lung epithelial cells are subjected to large cyclic forces from breathing. However, their response
to dynamic stresses is poorly defined. We measured the complex shear modulus (G * (ω…

Cytoskeletal remodelling and slow dynamics in the living cell
The cytoskeleton (CSK) is a crowded network of structural proteins that stabilizes cell shape
and drives cell motions. Recent studies on the dynamics of the CSK have established that a …

Time scale and other invariants of integrative mechanical behavior in living cells
In dealing with systems as complex as the cytoskeleton, we need organizing principles or,
short of that, an empirical framework into which these systems fit. We report here unexpected …

[HTML][HTML] 3D traction forces in cancer cell invasion
Cell invasion through a dense three-dimensional (3D) matrix is believed to depend on the
ability of cells to generate traction forces. To quantify the role of cell tractions during invasion …

Stress controls the mechanics of collagen networks
… So for every fiber segment of length ℓ 0 , we can express the bending rigidity in dimensionless
form as κ = ℓ b 2 / ℓ 0 2 = κ / μ ℓ 0 2 . The differential shear modulus is derived from the …
