Emergent mechanics of actomyosin drive punctuated contractions and shape network morphology in the cell cortex

Filamentous actin (F-actin) and non-muscle myosin II motors drive cell motility and cell shape changes that guide large scale tissue movements during embryonic morphogenesis. To gain a better understanding of the role of actomyosin in vivo, we have developed a two-dimensional (2D) computational mode...
