Biological processes, from morphogenesis to tumor invasion, spontaneously generate shear stresses inside living tissue. The mechanisms that govern the transmission of mechanical forces in epithelia and collective response tissue bulk deformations remain, however, poorly understood. Using a minimal cell-based computational model, we investigate constitutive relation confluent tissues under simple deformation. We show an initially undeformed fluidlike acquires finite rigidity above critical applied strain. This is akin shear-driven observed other soft matter systems. Interestingly, can be understood by scaling analysis vicinity second order point governs liquid-solid transition system. further solidlike responds linearly only small strains but then switches nonlinear at larger stains, with substantial stiffening. Finally, propose mean-field formulation for cells offers physical explanation

We formulate a hydrodynamic theory of confluent epithelia: i.e. monolayers epithelial cells adhering to each other without gaps. Taking advantage recent progresses toward establishing general p-atic liquid crystals, we demonstrate that collectively migrating epithelia feature both nematic (i.e. p = 2) and hexatic 6) orders, with the former being dominant at large latter small length scales. Such remarkable multiscale crystal order leaves distinct signature in system's structure factor, which exhibits two different power-law scaling regimes, reflecting hexagonal geometry clusters uniaxial global cellular flow. support these analytical predictions cell-resolved models - self-propelled Voronoi model multiphase field highlight how momentum dissipation noise influence range fluctuations scales, thereby affecting degree cooperativity between cells.

Understanding the structural dynamics of many-particle glassy systems remains a key challenge in statistical physics. Over last decade, has also been reported biological tissues, but is far from being understood. It was recently shown that vertex models dense tissue exhibit very atypical, sub-Arrhenius dynamics, and here we ask whether such atypical are related to unusual elastic properties. known at zero temperature these have an elasticity controlled by their underconstrained or isostatic nature, little about how varies with temperature. To address this question investigate 2D Voronoi model measure dependence intermediate-time plateau shear modulus bulk modulus. We find unlike conventional glass formers, moduli increase monotonically until system fluidizes. further show relaxation time can be quantitatively linked G_{p}, i.e. G_{p} modulates typical energy barrier scale for cell rearrangements. This suggests anomalous, originates its Based on our results, hypothesize might more generally give rise new class "ultrastrong" formers.

The rheology of biological tissue is key to processes such as embryo development, wound healing, and cancer metastasis. Vertex models confluent monolayers have uncovered a spontaneous liquid-solid transition tuned by cell shape; shear-induced solidification an initially liquidlike tissue. Alongside this jamming/unjamming behavior, also displays inherent viscoelasticity, with slow time rate-dependent mechanics. With motivation, we combine simulations continuum theory examine the vertex model in nonlinear shear across full range rates from quastistatic fast, elucidating its stress-strain curves after inception finite rate, steady state flow stress function strain rate. We formulate rheological constitutive that couples shape captures both solid-liquid rich linear rheology.

During embryonic morphogenesis, tissues undergo dramatic deformations in order to form functional organs.Similarly, adult animals, living cells and are continually subjected forces deformations.Therefore, the success of development proper maintenance physiological functions rely on ability withstand mechanical stresses as well their flow a collective manner.During these events, perturbations can originate from active processes at single cell level, competing with external exerted by surrounding organs.However, study tissue mechanics has been somewhat limited either response or intrinsic ones.In this work, we use an vertex model 2D confluent interplay that applied globally internal arise locally cellular level due motility.We elucidate particular way which between driving determines emergent properties whole.For vicinity solid-fluid jamming/unjamming transition, uncover host fascinating rheological phenomena, including yielding, shear thinning, continuous thickening (CST) discontinuous (DST).These predictions provide framework for understanding recently observed nonlinear behaviors vivo.

The rheology of biological tissue plays an important role in many processes, from organ formation to cancer invasion. Here, we use a multiphase field model motile cells simulate active microrheology within monolayer. When unperturbed, the exhibits transition between solidlike state and fluidlike tuned by cell motility deformability-the ratio energetic costs steric cell-cell repulsion cell-edge tension. perturbed, solid tissues exhibit local yield-stress behavior, with threshold force for onset motion probe particle that vanishes upon approaching solid-to-liquid transition. This is qualitatively different low high deformability regimes. At deformability, amorphous when solid, it responds compliantly deformations, smooth. monolayer more ordered translationally stiffer, appears discontinuous. Our results suggest cellular or nanoparticle transport types can be fundamentally point ways which controlled.

We study the vertex model for epithelial tissue mechanics extended to include coupling between cell shapes and tensions in cell-cell junctions. This represents an active force which drives system out of equilibrium leads formation nematic order interspersed with prominent, long-lived +1 defects. The defects ordering are coupled shape tiling, affecting areas coordinations. intricate interplay shape, size, coordination provides a possible mechanism by tissues could spontaneously develop long-range polarity through local mechanical forces without resorting chemical patterning.
