When epithelial cells grow, the negative tension produced by their division provokes a buckling instability. Several shapes are investigated: varicose, dilated, sinuous, or sausagelike. They are all found in pathologies of tracheal, renal tubes, or arteries. The final shape depends crucially on the mechanical parameters of the tissues: Young's modulus, wall-to-lumen ratio, homeostatic pressure. We argue that since tissues must be in quasistatic mechanical equilibrium, abnormal shapes convey information as to what causes the pathology. We calculate a phase diagram of tubular instabilities which could be a helpful guide for investigating the underlying genetic regulation.","lang":"eng"}],"status":"public","publication":"Physical Review Letters","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0001-6005-1561","id":"3A9DB764-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Hannezo, Edouard B","last_name":"Hannezo","first_name":"Edouard B"},{"first_name":"Jacques","last_name":"Prost","full_name":"Prost, Jacques"},{"first_name":"Jean","full_name":"Joanny, Jean","last_name":"Joanny"}],"publisher":"American Physical Society","extern":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","type":"journal_article","day":"03","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1207.1516","open_access":"1"}]}
