| Abstract |
We study and classify the time-dependent morphologies of polarized tissues subject to anisotropic but spatially homogeneous growth. Extending previous studies, we model the tissue as a fluid, and discuss the interplay of the active stresses generated by the anisotropic cell division and three types of passive mechanical forces: viscous stresses, friction with the environment and tension at the tissue boundary. The morphology dynamics is formulated as a free-boundary problem, and conformal mapping techniques are used to solve the evolution numerically. We combine analytical and numerical results to elucidate how the different passive forces compete with the active stresses to shape the tissue in different temporal regimes and derive the corresponding scaling laws. We show that in general the aspect ratio of elongated tissues is non-monotonic in time, eventually recovering isotropic shapes in the presence of friction forces, which are asymptotically dominant. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 32. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 May 2015.
All research outputs
#1,085,639
of 23,498,099 outputs
Outputs from The European Physical Journal E
#60
of 650 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#11,225
of 227,961 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The European Physical Journal E
#2
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,498,099 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 650 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 227,961 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
