Soft yet sharp interfaces in a vertex model of confluent tissue
Daniel M. Sussman, J. M. Schwarz, M. Cristina Marchetti +1
How can dense biological tissue maintain sharp boundaries between coexisting cell populations? We explore this question within a simple vertex model for cells, focusing on the role…

Surface creasing of soft elastic continua as a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition
T. A. Engstrom, J. M. Schwarz
Harnessing a model from composite materials science, we show how point-like cusped surface features arise as quasi-particle excitations, termed "ghost fibers", on the surface of a…
