MEDYAN: Mechanochemical Simulations of Contraction and Polarity Alignment in Actomyosin Networks.

Active matter systems, and in particular the cell cytoskeleton, exhibit complex mechanochemical dynamics that are still not well understood. While prior computational models of cytoskeletal dynamics have lead to many conceptual insights, an important niche still needs to be filled with a high-resolu...
