The premier journal of quantitative biology and leading journal for molecular, cellular, and systems biophysics research. Editor-in-Chief: Vasanthi Jayaraman.
Stark and colleagues develop a continuum model to describe the dynamics of furrow invagination during development, revealing how dynamic membrane reservoirs and viscoelastic properties of the membrane-cortex shape the kinetics of the observed cell-shape changes. buff.ly/vhdXaFs
