Bistable front dynamics in a contractile medium: Travelling wave fronts and cortical advection define stable zones of RhoA signaling at epithelial adherens junctions
Fig 6
Numerical results for the system in the case when only the force-generating component (NMIIA) is transported by the flow.
(A) Stationary active zone (Pe = 35, α = 1). (B) The critical Peclet number (i.e. the value at which Pe trends when c→0, see also Fig 5A) as a function of the strength of the bistable signaling (parameter α), in the case when both components are affected by the flow (continuous line) and when only the contractile component (NMIIA) is advected (dashed line).
