Rotation of sex combs in Drosophila melanogaster requires precise and coordinated spatio-temporal dynamics from forces generated by epithelial cells

Inhomogeneous and differential epithelial cell expansion critical for proper SC rotation.
A,B Approximately homogeneous spatial arrangement of distal epithelial cells. Adhesion parameter J(SCT, SCT) used: 4000. C Inhomogeneous spatial arrangement of distal epithelial cells. Adhesion parameter J(SCT, SCT) used: 4000. Please see S1 Video for a frame-by-frame capture of this simulation.
