Push-pull mechanics of E-cadherin ectodomains in biomimetic adhesions

K Nagendra, A Izzet, NB Judd, R Zakine, L Friedman… - Biophysical journal, 2023 - cell.com
E-cadherin plays a central role in cell-cell adhesion. The ectodomains of wild-type cadherins
form a crystalline-like two-dimensional lattice in cell-cell interfaces mediated by both trans …

Structural measures as guides to ultrastable states in overjammed packings

S Kim, S Hilgenfeldt - Physical review letters, 2022 - APS
Jammed, disordered packings of given sets of particles possess a multitude of equilibrium
states with different mechanical properties. Identifying and constructing desired states, eg, of …

Subjamming transition in binary sphere mixtures
