Epithelial convergent extension as a tuning process

The paper shows epithelial convergent extension can be viewed as a self-tuning process, with local feedback rules better reproducing experimental features than global optimization methods.

Mechanosensitive Remodeling Sustains Rigidity Homeostasis and Elastic Memory in Actin Cortex Models

This paper develops elastic network models of the actin cortex that maintain rigidity homeostasis and long-lived elastic memory through mechanosensitive dynamics.
