Figure 7From: Multiscale mechanobiology: mechanics at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levelsModels for mechanical force-mediated patterning processes. a, Different motilities between two types of cells can lead to lateral inhibition. b-b’, The spatial distributions of an orthogonal pair of mechanical forces, F x and F y , created by (b) myosin or (b’) cell motions, are anisotropic along their principle axes, x and y, respectively.Back to article page
