The Effect of Cortical Elasticity and Active Tension on Cell Adhesion Mechanics

We consider a cell as an elastic, contractile shell surrounding a liquid incompressible cytoplasm and with nonspecific adhesion. We perform numerical simulations of this model to study the mechanics of cell-cell separation. By variation of parameters, we are able to recover well-known limits of the...
