ACAM - Apposed Cortex Adhesion Model
With A. Nestor-Bergmann, G. B. Blanchard, A. G. FletcherEach cell cortex in ACAM is represented as an active, continuum morphoelastic rod with resistance to bending and extension. By explicitly considering both cortices along bicellular junctions, the model is able to replicate important cell behaviours that are not captured in many existing models e.g. cell-cell shearing and material flow around cell vertices.
