Why do vertex models work so well to predict tissue fluidity/rigidity, even though they are simple and possibly even wrong? A new paper in PRX Life
@prxlife.bsky.social, spearheaded by @sadjadarzash.bsky.social and Ojan Damavandi, suggests universality may explain: journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...

Universality in the Mechanical Behavior of Vertex Models for Biological Tissues
A systematic comparison of diverse cell packing models reveals shared mechanical rules that govern how tissues stiffen, yield, and reorganize---shedding light on the physical logic behind morphogenesi...

Excited to share our new paper in PRX Life @prxlife.bsky.social!
We uncover universal viscoelastic behavior in different vertex models of biological tissues, explaining why so many models work so well. Enjoyed working with Ojan (co-first), Liz & Lisa on this!
