Mechanical basis of morphogenesis and convergent evolution of spiny seashells. by Chirat, R, Moulton, D, Goriely, A

“…We develop a mathematical model for spine morphogenesis based on the mechanical interaction between the secreting mantle edge and the calcified shell edge to which the mantle adheres during shell growth. …”

Mathematical models of neuronal growth by Oliveri, H, Goriely, A

“…Here, we critically review the main models of neurite growth and morphogenesis from a mathematical viewpoint. We present different models for growth, guidance and morphogenesis, with a particular emphasis on mechanics and mechanisms, and on simple mathematical models that can be partially treated analytically. …”

The morpho-mechanical basis of ammonite form. by Moulton, D, Goriely, A, Chirat, R

“…Here, we develop a morpho-mechanical model for ammonite morphogenesis. While a wealth of observations have been compiled on ammonite form, and several functional interpretations may be found, this study presents the first quantitative model to explain rib formation. …”

The mechanics of human brain organoids by Balbi, V, Destrade, M, Goriely, A

“…They provide a reliable and accurate experimental model to study the physical mechanisms underlying the early developmental stages of human organs and, in particular, the early morphogenesis of the cortex. Here we propose a mathematical model to elucidate the role played by two mechanisms which have been experimentally proven to be crucial in shaping human brain organoids: the contraction of the inner core of the organoid and the microstructural remodeling of its outer cortex. …”

Growth, collapse, and stalling in a mechanical model for neurite motility by Recho, P, Jérusalem, A, Goriely, A

“…Neurites, the long cellular protrusions that form the routes of the neuronal network are capable to actively extend during early morphogenesis or to regenerate after trauma. To perform this task, they rely on their cytoskeleton for mechanical support. …”

Active filaments I: Curvature and torsion generation by Kaczmarski, B, Moulton, DE, Kuhl, E, Goriely, A

“…This process is fundamental in morphogenesis but also in plant tropism, nematic solid activation, and muscular motion of filamentary organs such as elephant trunks and octopus arms. …”

Publisher's note: Growth, collapse, and stalling in a mechanical model for neurite motility [Phys. Rev. E 93, 032410 (2016)] by Recho, P, Jerusalem, A, Goriely, A

Morphomechanics and developmental constraints in the evolution of ammonites shell form by Erlich, A, Moulton, D, Goriely, A, Chirat, R

“…Here we explore this idea in the context of seashell morphogenesis. We show that a morphomechanical model can predict the effects of variations in shell shape on the ornamental pattern in ammonites, a now extinct group of cephalopods with external chambered shell. …”

Growth and remodelling of living systems: perspectives, challenges, and opportunities by Ambrosi, D, Ben Amar, M, Cyron, C, De Simone, A, Goriely, A, Humphrey, J, Kuhl, E

“…Phenomena of growth and remodelling play important roles, for example during morphogenesis in early life as well as in homeostasis and pathogenesis in adult tissues, which often adapt to changes in their chemo-mechanical environment as a result of ageing, diseases, injury or surgical intervention. …”
