This project investigates the properties of epithelial cell layers, focusing on their mechanical behavior and self-healing capabilities. By understanding these living materials, the research aims to enhance their application in bioinspired technologies and organ-on-chip devices.
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 villi in our guts or tubular networks.
Intrigued by these conflicting material properties, the main i…
