Combined experimental and computational analysis of morphogenic processes in the physical framework of the (un)jamming transition KU Leuven
Morphogenic processes during embryonic development are characterised by phenotypical changes that can be interpreted from a physical perspective as phase transitions emerging from interactions between a large number of cells. In particular, the jamming phase transition – a transition form a fluid-like to a solid-like state – was found to control zebrafish anteroposterior (AP) axis elongation. However, the regulation of the jamming transition ...
