A scaling law for epithelial tissue rheology

M. I. Cheikh, N. Rodriguez, K. Doubrovinski

The paper develops a theory to explain the rheological properties of early fly embryos, showing that tissue deformation follows a power law with exponent 1/2 under pulling forces.

A comprehensive model of Drosophila epithelium reveals the role of embryo geometry and cell topology in mechanical responses

M. I. Cheikh, J. Tchoufag, M. Osterfield, K. Dean, S. Bhaduri, C. Zhang, K. K. Mandadapu, K. Doubrovinski

The paper develops a model of Drosophila epithelium to show that mechanical responses depend on embryo geometry and cell topology, with apical surfaces being softer than basal ones.
