Mechanical constraints organize 3D tissues and orchestrate muscle differentiation

Irène Nagle, Lorijn van der Spek, Paul Gesenhues, Thierry Savy, Laurent Réa, Alain Richert, Mathieu Receveur, Florence Delort, Sabrina Batonnet‐Pichon, Claire Wilhelm, Nathalie Luciani, Myriam Reffay

This study shows that mechanical stretching of C2C12 myoblasts leads to 3D tissue formation and muscle differentiation, with surface regions showing increased differentiation activity.

Allometric spreading and focal adhesion collective organization are coordinated by cell-scale geometrical constraints

Célian Bimbard, Ali-Alhadi Wahhod, Démosthène Mitrossilis, Joseph Vermeil, Rémi Bousquet, Alain Richert, David Pereira, Pauline Durand-Smet, Sophie Asnacios, J Etienne, Atef Asnacios, Jonathan Fouchard

This study shows that focal adhesion density remains constant across different cell sizes and geometries, adapting through changes in cell shape and contact area.

Disentangling the contributions of stress fibres and the unbundled actin meshwork to the anisotropy of cortical tension in response to cell shape

Florian Fage, Sophie Asnacios, A. Pluta, Alain Richert, Carine Vias, Jonathan Fouchard, Hervé Enslen, J Etienne, Andrew Callan-Jones, Manuel Théry, David Pereira, Atef Asnacios

This study quantifies how cell shape influences cortical tension anisotropy by separating contributions from bundled and unbundled actin structures.
