Quantitative assessment of research data management practice - 2021

Francesco Varrato, Chiara Gabella, Eliane Ninfa Blumer

This survey aims to investigate research data management practices at EPFL and integrate their results into specific academic services. The previous two editions, in collaboration with TU Delft, Cambridge University and Illinois University, were carried ou ...

Minimal model for spontaneous cell polarization and edge activity in oscillating, rotating and migrating cells

Jean-Jacques Meister, Chiara Gabella, Franck Claude Raynaud, Alicia Carine Bornert

How cells break symmetry and organize activity at their edges to move directionally is a fundamental question in cell biology. Physical models of cell motility commonly incorporate gradients of regulatory proteins and/or feedback from the motion itself to ...

Actin-myosin filament bundles (stress fibers) are critical for tension generation and cell shape, but their mechanical properties are difficult to access. Here we propose a novel approach to probe individual peripheral stress fibers in living cells through ...

Cell Shape Dynamics Reveal Balance of Elasticity and Contractility in Peripheral Arcs

Jean-Jacques Meister, Chiara Gabella, Benoît Vianay, Céline Jeanne Labouesse

The mechanical interaction between adherent cells and their substrate relies on the formation of adhesion sites and on the stabilization of contractile acto-myosin bundles, or stress fibers. The shape of the cell and the orientation of these fibers can be ...

Plasma membrane tension and the pressure generated by actin polymerization are two antagonistic forces believed to define the protrusion rate at the leading edge of migrating cells [1-5]. Quantitatively, resistance to actin protrusion is a product of membr ...

Ultra-soft cantilevers and 3-D micro-patterned substrates for contractile bundle tension measurement in living cells

Jean-Jacques Meister, Niccolo Piacentini, Chiara Gabella, Benoît Vianay

Actin-myosin microfilament bundles or stress-fibers are the principal tension-generating structures in the cell. Their mechanical properties are critical for cell shape, motion, and interaction with other cells and extracellular matrix, but were so far dif ...

Interplay between cytoskeletal forces, membrane tension and shape in rapidly migrating cells

Chiara Gabella

Cell migration is a fundamental process in all animal cells. The ability of cell to migrate is crucial for many pathological and physiological conditions such as morphogenesis, the immune response to inflammatory or vascular diseases and cancer metastasis. ...
