Studying gastrulation by invagination: The bending of a cell sheet by mechanical cell properties using 3D deformable cell based simulations

(A) A cell with different regions. The colored bands mark different regions on a cell, which can vary in thickness. (B) Cell-cell adhesion. Two cells are adhered together by adhesion molecules (elastic element that connects two vertices) in the selected adhesion region (blue region).
