Studying gastrulation by invagination: The bending of a cell sheet by mechanical cell properties using 3D deformable cell based simulations
Fig 10
Collision handling examples of deformable cells: (A) Two overlapping cells, no collision handling. (B) Two equally stiff cells. Collision handled. The stiffness equality causes the cells to deform in the same magnitude. (C) Two cells which have a different stiffness. Collision Handled. The right cell is stiffer than the left cell. The left cell shapes it self around the stiffer right cell. All cell are made transparent to be able to view the effect of the collision handling.
