A Geometric Tension Dynamics Model of Epithelial Convergent Extension
Nikolas H. Claussen, Fridtjof Brauns, Boris I. Shraiman
Convergent extension of epithelial tissue is a key motif of animal morphogenesis. On a coarse scale, cell motion resembles laminar fluid flow; yet in contrast to a fluid, epithelia…

Learning a conserved mechanism for early neuroectoderm morphogenesis
Matthew Lefebvre, Jonathan Colen, Nikolas Claussen +6
Morphogenesis is the process whereby the body of an organism develops its target shape. The morphogen BMP is known to play a conserved role across bilaterian organisms in determini…
