Post-Turing tissue pattern formation: Advent of mechanochemistry
Fig 5
(A) Schematic view of the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient tensor. (B) Numerical versus biological cells in the reference configuration (left-hand side) and an example of the deformed simulated tissue body with chemical (morphogen) patterns (right-hand side). Purple color represents high, white color low local morphogen levels. The 3D tissue body has been sliced just for the purpose of a better visualisation.
