Mechanics of epithelial tissue formation in early insect embryos
A key process in the life of any multicellular organism is its development from a single egg into a full grown adult. The first step in this process often consists of forming a tissue layer out of randomly placed cells on the surface of the egg. We present a model for generating such a tissue, and find that the resulting cellular pattern corresponds to the Voronoi tessellation of the nuclei of ...
متن کاملFrom cells to tissue: A continuum model of epithelial mechanics.
A two-dimensional continuum model of epithelial tissue mechanics was formulated using cellular-level mechanical ingredients and cell morphogenetic processes, including cellular shape changes and cellular rearrangements. This model incorporates stress and deformation tensors, which can be compared with experimental data. Focusing on the interplay between cell shape changes and cell rearrangement...
متن کاملTissue mechanics.
The human body, from an engineering point of view, is a load-transmitting mechanism. It is subjected to self-originated and/or environmentally-imposed actions (Abrahams 1965, Paul 1967). These in turn manifest themselves in actions on tissue, and the tissue’s capability to withstand and transmit the corresponding loads through deforming appropriately can be characterized in health and disease. ...
متن کاملMechanics of tissue compaction.
During embryonic development, tissues deform by a succession and combination of morphogenetic processes. Tissue compaction is the morphogenetic process by which a tissue adopts a tighter structure. Recent studies characterized the respective roles of cells' adhesive and contractile properties in tissue compaction. In this review, we formalize the mechanical and molecular principles of tissue co...
