Moderately Reduced Contractility Decreases Epithelial Cell-Cell Contact Rupture Under Large External Stretch

Saika Sharmin, Caden Obermeyer, Venkat Maruthamuthu

This study shows that moderate reduction of actomyosin contractility protects epithelial cell-cell contacts from rupture under large external stretch by reducing both active and passive mechanical forces.

Soft silicone surface stiffening by oxidation upon deep UV treatment as characterized using nanoindentation

Amanda Wilder, Zaria Booth, Caden Obermeyer, Saika Sharmin, Venkat Maruthamuthu

This study shows that deep UV treatment increases the surface stiffness of soft silicones without affecting their bulk properties, as measured by nanoindentation and spectroscopy.
