Modelling bulk mechanical effects in a planar cellular monolayer
Natasha Cowley, Sarah Woolner, Oliver E. Jensen
We use a three-dimensional formulation of the cell vertex model to describe the mechanical properties of a confluent planar monolayer of prismatic cells. Treating cell height as a…

Force networks, torque balance and Airy stress in the planar vertex model of a confluent epithelium
Oliver E. Jensen, Emma Johns, Sarah Woolner
The vertex model is a popular framework for modelling tightly packed biological cells, such as confluent epithelia. Cells are described by convex polygons tiling the plane and thei…
