A different origami-guide: Irreversible folds in morphogenesis 🔰
Teodora Piskova #RWTH covers work from the #MechgenLab
“…this #preprint seeks to explain how certain material behaviors of tissues matter for fundamental processes such as #morphogenesis…”

@preLights Interesting. It'd be worth investigating what level of phenomenology we put under the word "(ir)reversible" in this context.
We'd come with a variant for that together with Matteo Rauzi: erasing #Myosin accumulation cancels the furrowing, and as Myosin reaccumulates it starts over.
@preLights
And we also had a variant of your pathway C of #epithelial fold formation : folding by *tensile* mechanical #buckling
(Note: these are my hands on the photo, so technically this is my own's only and single published experiment!)
