Epithelial cell sheets as engineering materials: mechanics, resilience and malleability (EpiMech)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2021,

The epithelium is a cohesive two-dimensional layer of cells attached to a fluid-filled fibrous matrix, which lines most free surfaces and cavities of the body. It serves as a protective barrier with tunable permeability, which must retain integrity in a mechanically active environment. Paradoxically, it must also be malleable enough to self-heal and remodel into functional 3D structures such as v...
