Article Synopsis
- Epithelial tissue is a key type of tissue in adult organisms and plays an important role in the development of organs in embryos, characterized by tightly adhering cells.
- Previous studies have primarily focused on two-dimensional models of epithelial dynamics, but this research extends those models to three dimensions and derives a continuum model that connects tissue properties to the vertex model parameters.
- The study also applies this model to analyze tissue buckling, finding that the predictions align well with earlier stability calculations, thereby linking discrete and continuum descriptions for better understanding epithelial morphogenesis.
Evolution of droplets of perfectly wetting liquid under the influence of thermocapillary forces.
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys
April 2011
We consider the evolution of sessile droplets of a nonvolatile perfectly wetting liquid on differentially radially heated solid substrates. The heating induces thermocapillary Marangoni forces that affect the contact line dynamics. Our experiments involving a particular heating pattern reveal that the Marangoni effect suppresses the spreading of a drop, typical for perfectly wetting liquids.
