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

SC breaking statistics for different SC lengths and adhesion parameters.
A Graph of intact ratio vs. adhesion parameter between SC teeth for rotated SC simulations of various SC lengths. B Two different parameter regimes for SC breaking. Top: SC breaking in the parameter regime where mutual adhesion between SC teeth is strong. This 9-tooth example is from the adhesion parameter regime marked with “#” in A. Bottom: SC breaking in the parameter regime where mutual adhesion between SC teeth is weak. This 9-tooth example is from the adhesion parameter regime marked with “##” in A.
