Mechanical characterization of disordered and anisotropic cellular monolayers
Alexander Nestor-Bergmann, Emma Johns, Sarah Woolner +1
We consider a cellular monolayer, described using a vertex-based model, for which cells form a spatially disordered array of convex polygons that tile the plane. Equilibrium cell c…

Relating cell shape and mechanical stress in a spatially disordered epithelium using a vertex-based model
Alexander Nestor-Bergmann, Georgina Goddard, Sarah Woolner +1
Using a popular vertex-based model to describe a spatially disordered planar epithelial monolayer, we examine the relationship between cell shape and mechanical stress at the cell…
