Viscous vertex model for active epithelial tissues
Shao-Zhen Lin, Sham Tlili, Jean-François Rupprecht
We present a rotationally invariant viscous vertex model that accounts for both cortical and bulk dissipation of cells. The vanishing substrate-friction limit is enforced via Lagra…

Noninvasive rheological inference from stable flows in confined tissues
Marc Karnat, Gautham Hari Narayana, Sudheer Kumar Peneti +8
Quantifying the in-plane rheology of epithelial monolayers remains challenging due to the difficulty of imposing controlled shear. We introduce a self-driven, rheometer-like assay…
