Inhomogeneous shape changes underlie many morphogenetic events and involve spatial gradients in active cellular forces induced by complex chemical signaling. Here, we introduce a mechanochemical model based on the notion that cell shape changes may be induced by external diffusible biomolecules that influence cellular contractility (or equivalently, adhesions) in a concentration-dependent manner—and whose spatial profile in turn is affected by cell shape. We map out theoretically the possible interplay between chemical concentration and cellular structure. Besides providing a direct route to spatial gradients in cell shape profiles in tissues, we show that the dependence on cell shape helps create robust mechanochemical gradients."}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.01486","open_access":"1"}],"department":[{"_id":"EdHa"}],"issue":"4","publication_status":"published","date_published":"2018-02-27T00:00:00Z","date_updated":"2023-09-19T10:13:55Z","month":"02","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"27","type":"journal_article","status":"public","title":"Theory of eppithelial cell shape transitions induced by mechanoactive chemical gradients","quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1","publisher":"Biophysical Society","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:46:23Z","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","oa":1,"oa_version":"Submitted Version"}
