Manning Research Group at Syracuse University: theory and computation focused on cells, grains, tissues, glasses, and other out-of-equilibrium disordered matter
These shape changes are generic – they can also be seen in a simpler hydrodynamic model of a membrane surrounded by a highly viscous medium, also with anterior pushing forces and posterior pulling forces.

Yay! New paper out in PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... . How do dynamical forces generated by tissue movement affect organ morphology changes during embryonic development?
Using Kupffer’s vesicle in zebrafish embryo we showed that dynamical forces produce shape changes in a developing organ.
