A model for mechanically driven morphogenesis
Abstract eng: After drawing a clear distinction between various kinds of processes of material evolution encountered in biological tissues, processes of morphogenesis are identified as those for which material symmetry breaking occurs. Assuming that long molecules embedded in an extracellular matrix have a degree of freedom so that they can interlock in at least two different arrangements, a bi-modal energy density can give rise to morphogenesis purely driven by histories of deformation.
