Vertex Model Mechanics Explain the Emergence of Centroidal Voronoi Tiling in Epithelia
Sulaimaan Lim, Julien Vermot, Chiu Fan Lee
Epithelia are confluent cell layers that self-organize into polygonal networks whose geometry encodes their mechanical state. A principal driver is the tunable contractility of the…

New universality classes govern the critical and multicritical behavior of an active Ising model
Matthew Wong, Chiu Fan Lee
The Ising model is one of the most well known models in statistical physics, with its critical behavior governed by the Wilson-Fisher universality class (UC). When active motility…
