Triangles bridge the scales: Quantifying cellular contributions to tissue deformation
Matthias Merkel, Raphaël Etournay, Marko Popović +3
In this article, we propose a general framework to study the dynamics and topology of cellular networks that capture the geometry of cell packings in two-dimensional tissues. Such…

Active dynamics of tissue shear flow
Marko Popović, Amitabha Nandi, Matthias Merkel +4
We present a hydrodynamic theory to describe shear flows in developing epithelial tissues. We introduce hydrodynamic fields corresponding to state properties of constituent cells a…
