"Control of Cell and Tissue Stiffness by Filament Networks and Particle Inclusions"
Filamentous networks are ubiquitous in biology. Collagen fibers form much of the extracellular matrix, the cytoskeleton controls cell mechanics, and chromatin fibers span the volume of the nucleus. The mechanical properties of the biopolymer fibers, the way in which the fibers link into networks, and the types of cells within the network all affect the macroscopic mechanical response of tissues and the way in which tissues respond to mechanical stress.
