Nonlinear mechanosensation in fiber networks
In the extracellular matrix, eukaryotic cells exert forces that deform their surroundings. By doing so, they can perform mechanosensation: Cells measure the mechanics of their environment, and adapt their behavior accordingly. Extracellular matrices are, however, disordered nonlinear media: How can...
