Our latest work on how shear force can lead to tissue solidity and nonlinear elasticity has just appeared in Phys. Rev. Lett! Cristina Marchetti NortheasternPhysics journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

A minimal cell-based computational model demonstrates that fluid-like epithelial tissues become rigid above a critical applied strain, a process similar to shear-driven rigidity in other soft matter systems go.aps.org/3MDLFFj #biophysics

In recognition of her contributions to physics of driven superconducting vortices and disordered systems, M. Cristina Marchetti (Cristina Marchetti) of UC Santa Barbara UCSB Physics is being inducted into the National Academy of Sciences. Watch #NAS159: ow.ly/vesv50IV6HC

Join us tomorrow for an in-person Squishy Physics seminar by Max Bi.
