Lye C, Blanchard G, Evans J, Nestor-Bergmann A, Sanson B
PLoS Biol
. 2024 Apr;
22(4):e3002611.
PMID: 38683880
As tissues grow and change shape during animal development, they physically pull and push on each other, and these mechanical interactions can be important for morphogenesis. During Drosophila gastrulation, mesoderm...

PLoS Comput Biol
. 2022 Jan;
18(1):e1009812.
PMID: 35089922
Cell intercalation is a key cell behaviour of morphogenesis and wound healing, where local cell neighbour exchanges can cause dramatic tissue deformations such as body axis extension. Substantial experimental work...

Moruzzi M, Nestor-Bergmann A, Goddard G, Tarannum N, Brennan K, Woolner S
Curr Biol
. 2021 Jun;
31(15):3409-3418.e6.
PMID: 34111402
Epithelial tissues are highly sensitive to anisotropies in mechanical force, with cells altering fundamental behaviors, such as cell adhesion, migration, and cell division. It is well known that, in the...

Finegan T, Hervieux N, Nestor-Bergmann A, Fletcher A, Blanchard G, Sanson B
PLoS Biol
. 2019 Dec;
17(12):e3000522.
PMID: 31805038
In epithelia, tricellular vertices are emerging as important sites for the regulation of epithelial integrity and function. Compared to bicellular contacts, however, much less is known. In particular, resident proteins...

Nestor-Bergmann A, Stooke-Vaughan G, Goddard G, Starborg T, Jensen O, Woolner S
Cell Rep
. 2019 Feb;
26(8):2088-2100.e4.
PMID: 30784591
Distinct mechanisms involving cell shape and mechanical force are known to influence the rate and orientation of division in cultured cells. However, uncoupling the impact of shape and force in...

Acharya B, Nestor-Bergmann A, Liang X, Gupta S, Duszyc K, Gauquelin E, et al.
Dev Cell
. 2018 Oct;
47(4):439-452.e6.
PMID: 30318244
Adherens junctions are tensile structures that couple epithelial cells together. Junctional tension can arise from cell-intrinsic application of contractility or from the cell-extrinsic forces of tissue movement. Here, we report...

Nestor-Bergmann A, Johns E, Woolner S, Jensen O
Phys Rev E
. 2018 Jun;
97(5-1):052409.
PMID: 29906905
We consider a cellular monolayer, described using a vertex-based model, for which cells form a spatially disordered array of convex polygons that tile the plane. Equilibrium cell configurations are assumed...

Math Med Biol
. 2017 Oct;
35(suppl_1):1-27.
PMID: 28992197
Using a popular vertex-based model to describe a spatially disordered planar epithelial monolayer, we examine the relationship between cell shape and mechanical stress at the cell and tissue level. Deriving...

Semin Cell Dev Biol
. 2014 Aug;
34:133-9.
PMID: 25080021
The mechanical environment of a cell has a profound effect on its behaviour, from dictating cell shape to driving the transcription of specific genes. Recent studies have demonstrated that mechanical...
