Contractile and mechanical properties in epithelia with perturbed actomyosin dynamics
Sabine C. Fischer, Guy B. Blanchard, Julia Duque +4
Mechanics has an important role during morphogenesis, both in the generation of forces driving cell shape changes and in determining the effective material properties of cells and…

Cytoskeletal turnover and Myosin contractility drive cell autonomous oscillations in a model of Drosophila Dorsal Closure
Pedro F. Machado, Guy B. Blanchard, Julia Duque +1
Oscillatory behaviour in force-generating systems is a pervasive phenomenon in cell biology. In this work, we investigate how oscillations in the actomyosin cytoskeleton drive cell…
