Epithelial vertex models with active biochemical regulation of contractility can explain organized collective cell motility

Collective motions of groups of cells are observed in many biological settings such as embryo development, tissue formation, and cancer metastasis. To effectively model collective cell movement, it is important to incorporate cell specific features such as cell size, cell shape, and cell mechanics,...
