Mechanical signaling via nonlinear wavefront propagation in a mechanically-excitable medium
Timon Idema, Andrea J. Liu
Models that invoke nonlinear wavefront propagation in a chemically excitable medium are rife in the biological literature. Indeed, the idea that wavefront propagation can serve as…

The syncytial Drosophila embryo as a mechanically excitable medium
Timon Idema, Julien O. Dubuis, Louis Kang +4
Mitosis in the early syncytial Drosophila embryo is highly correlated in space and time, as manifested in mitotic wavefronts that propagate across the embryo. In this paper we inve…
