Interplay of Geometry and Mechanics: Disordered Spring Networks and Shape-changing Cerebella
… spring networks II) uniaxial strain-induced stiffening transitions in semiflexible networks with area-conserving inclusions and III) non-linearities in the buckling without bending morphogenesis model for growing cerebella. All models are two dimensional and we employ either discrete and …

Mechanics of Composite Hydrogels
… of athermal relaxation dynamics; (iii) nonlinear compression stiffening in composite hydrogels, arising from complex particle dynamics that arise during compression; and (iv) design methods for composite hydrogels, as functional materials with programmable morphologies and stimuli-responsivity. …

MODELING OF THE CHEMOMECHANICAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CELLS AND THE EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX
… GAGs can modulate the anisotropic strain-stiffening behavior of the ECM and further impact cellular force transmission. Second, we examine the rheological characteristics of tissues densely packed with cells. Our analysis reveals an unexpected transition from compression softening to …

Piezo1-dependent mechanical regulation of chemical signalling in the developing Xenopus laevis brain
… cues is regulated by substrate stiffness. Compression stiffening soft parts of the brain in vivo increased sema3A but not slit1 expression. Stiffening Piezo1 knockdown brains, however, did not increase sema3A expression, suggesting compression stiffened sema3A upregulation is …
