Cell bulging and extrusion in a three-dimensional bubbly vertex model for curved epithelial sheets

Oliver M. Drozdowski, Büşra Kocameşe, Kim E. Boonekamp +2

Cell extrusion is an essential mechanism for controlling cell density in epithelial tissues. Another essential element of epithelia is curvature, which is required to achieve compl…

Chemotaxis-induced phase separation

Henrik Weyer, David Muramatsu, Erwin Frey

Chemotaxis allows single cells to self-organize at the population level, as classically described by Keller-Segel models. We show that chemotactic aggregation can be understood usi…

Morphological instability at topological defects in a three-dimensional vertex model for spherical epithelia

Oliver M. Drozdowski, Ulrich S. Schwarz

Epithelial monolayers are a central building block of complex organisms. Topological defects have emerged as important elements for single cell behavior in flat epithelia. Here we…
