Mechanical memory of confinement pressure governs expansion size in epithelial monolayers

Linn Engström, Simon K. Schnyder, Johannes Kumra Ahnlide, Valeriia Grudtsyna, Martijn Gloerich, Pontus Nordenfelt, Amin Doostmohammadi, Vinay Swaminathan

The paper shows epithelial monolayers converge to the same final size and density after release from confinement, regardless of initial conditions, through mechanical pressure signaling.

Packing-Driven Mechanotransduction: local crowding overrides adhesion and stiffness cues for YAP Activation in Cellular Collectives

Valeriia Grudtsyna, Vinay Swaminathan, Amin Doostmohammadi

This study shows that local cell packing fraction, not adhesion or stiffness, drives YAP activation in multicellular collectives, independent of single-cell mechanisms.

Quantifying the shape of cells - from Minkowski tensors to p-atic order

Lea Happel, Griseldis Oberschelp, Valeriia Grudtsyna, Harish P Jain, Rastko Sknepnek, Amin Doostmohammadi, Axel Voigt

The paper introduces mathematical tools to quantify cell shape and demonstrates p-atic order in MDCK monolayers, challenging previous findings on orientational symmetry.
