Unjamming and cell shape in the asthmatic airway epithelium (2015, methodology): “Results from inert particulate matter 32,33 suggest that plausible mechanisms would include increased mutual crowding and increased mutual adhesion 4,9,16,17 .”
Hydrodynamics of soft active matter (2013, background): “…cells suggest that the displacement field and stress distribution in these living systems strongly resemble both the dynamical heterogeneities of glasses and the soft modes of jammed packings (Poujade et al., 2007; Trepat et al., 2009; Angelini et al., 2010, 2011; Petitjean et al., 2010).”
Physics of microswimmers—single particle motion and collective behavior: a review (2014, background): “As the density increases, this “active liquid” undergoes a glass-like transition, and eventually full dynamical arrest (Angelini et al., 2010, 2011; Basan et al., 2013).”
The statistical physics of active matter: From self-catalytic colloids to living cells (2017, background): “The study of active jamming and active glasses formed by dense collections of ABPs was largely stimulated by the experimental observation of glassy dynamics in monolayer of epithelial cells [81, 82, 83, 84].”
Motility-driven glass and jamming transitions in biological tissues (2015, background): “• Spatial correlations and fluctuations of the cell displacement field, such as swirl sizes [2, 3, 15, 39, 40] , should grow as a tissue approaches the glass transition from the fluid side.”
Non-equilibrium glass transitions in driven and active matter (2013, background): “We defined the slow functions Cs(t ) and Rs(t ) as the exact solutions of equations (7)– (9), and the fast ones are defined by difference, for example Cf (t ) = C(t ) − Cs(t ), and decay over timescales that do not diverge at the transition.”
