A minimal model for structure, dynamics, and tension of monolayered cell colonies
Debarati Sarkar, Gerhard Gompper, Jens Elgeti
The motion of cells in tissues is an ubiquitous phenomenon. In particular, in monolayered cell colonies in vitro, pronounced collective behavior with swirl-like motion has been obs…
The role of thickness inhomogeneities in hierarchical cortical folding
Lucas da Costa Campos, Raphael Hornung, Gerhard Gompper +2
For long it has been known that specific patterns of folding are necessary for an optimally functioning brain. For instance, lissencephaly and polymicrogyria can lead to severe men…
Instability and fingering of interfaces in growing tissue
Tobias Büscher, Angel L. Diez, Gerhard Gompper +1
Interfaces in tissues are ubiquitous, both between tissue and environment as well as between populations of different cell types. The propagation of an interface can be driven mech…
