Permissive aggregative group formation favors coexistence in yeast

T. E. R. Belpaire, J. Pesek, B. Lories, K. J. Verstrepen, H. P. Steenackers, H. Ramon, B. Smeets

This study shows that permissive kin recognition in yeast leads to coexistence between cooperators and defectors under varying environmental conditions.

Compaction dynamics during progenitor cell self-assembly reveal granular mechanics

B. Smeets, J. Pesek, T. Deckers, G. Nilsson Hall, M. Cuvelier, S. Ongenae, V. Bloemen, F. P. Luyten, I. Papantoniou, H. Ramon

The paper studies self-assembly dynamics of human progenitor cells in agarose micro-wells, finding that aggregates behave as granular piles with density relaxation following a stretched exponential.

The effect of cortical elasticity and active tension on cell adhesion mechanics

B. Smeets, M. Cuvelier, J. Pesek, H. Ramon

The paper models cell-cell separation mechanics using a numerical simulation of an elastic shell with active tension and non-specific adhesion, estimating mechanical parameters consistent with experimental data.
