Mechanics of active surfaces [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2017 We derive a fully covariant theory of the mechanics of active surfaces. This theory provides a framework for the study of active biological or chemical processes at surfaces, such as the cell cortex, the mechanics of epithelial tissues, or reconstituted active systems on surfaces.

Mechanical activation of vinculin binding to talin locks talin in an unfolded conformation [PDF]
, 2014 The force-dependent interaction between talin and vinculin plays a crucial role in the initiation and growth of focal adhesions. Here we use magnetic tweezers to characterise the mechano-sensitive compact N-terminal region of the talin rod, and show that

Molecular brakes regulating mTORC1 activation in skeletal muscle following synergist ablation [PDF]
, 2014 The goal of the current work was to profile positive (mTORC1 activation, autocrine/paracrine growth factors) and negative [AMPK, unfolded protein response (UPR)] pathways that might regulate overload-induced mTORC1 activation with the hypothesis that a ...

A Two-Step Baro-Mechanical Cycle for Repeated Activation and Deactivation of Mechanophores
, 2021 Mechanophores that are embedded in a polymer backbone respond to the application of mechanical stretching forces by geometric changes such as bond rupture. Typically, these structural changes are irreversible, which limits the applicability of functional
