Active superelasticity in three-dimensional epithelia of controlled shape

Ernest Latorre Ibars

Abstract: Fundamental processes in development and physiology are determined by the three-dimensional architecture of epithelial sheets. How these sheets deform and fold into complex structures has remained unclear, however, because their mechanical properties in three-dimensions have not been accessed experimentally. By combining measurements of epithelial tension, shape, and luminal pressure with mathematical modeling, here we show that epithelial cell sheets are active superelastic materials. We develop a new approac… Show more
