A simple mechanochemical model for calcium signalling in embryonic epithelial cells

A simple mechanochemical model for calcium signalling in embryonic epithelial cells

Calcium signalling is one of the most important mechanisms of information propagation in the body. In embryogenesis the interplay between calcium signalling and mechanical forces is critical to the healthy development of an embryo but poorly understood. Several types of embryonic cells exhibit calcium-induced contractions and many experiments indicate that …
