Cell Stiffness-Mediated Mechanochemical Waves in Three-Dimensional Tissues

Author(s): Pengyu Yu, Rui Zhang, and Bo Li Tissue development, physiological or pathological, commonly involves stiffness alterations in the constituent cells. Here, we develop a three-dimensional (3D) active vertex model incorporating mechanical feedback from extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) to explore mechanochemical waves in ti… [Phys. Rev.
