There’s so much more to the #EpithelialMechanics of gastrulation than any simple model can capture. How might other cell behaviors factor into modeling the multi-scale mechanics of vertebrate gastrulation? Check out our recent review with Kees Weijer.

Mechanical forces can affect the way tissue grows. Ideally, we want to characterize them without interfering with the processes we are studying. Is there a way to achieve this?
