Modelling the mechanical cross-talk between cells and fibrous extracellular matrix using hybrid cellular Potts and molecular dynamics methods

The paper models cell-ECM mechanical interactions using hybrid cellular Potts and molecular dynamics methods, showing force propagation and network stiffening consistent with experiments.

Stress fibers orient traction forces on micropatterns: A hybrid cellular Potts model study

The paper uses a hybrid cellular Potts model to study how stress fiber orientation affects traction forces in cells on micropatterned substrates, reproducing experimental data on fibroblasts, endothelial, and epithelial cells.
