Active interfacial degradation/deposition of an elastic matrix by a fluid inclusion: Theory and pattern formation
During collective invasion in 3D, cohesive cellular tissues migrate within a fibrous
extracellular matrix (ECM). This process requires significant remodeling of the ECM by cells …

Onsager's variational principle in proliferating biological tissues, in the presence of activity and anisotropy
J Ackermann, M Ben Amar - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2023 - Springer
A hallmark of biological cells is their ability to proliferate and of tissues their ability to grow.
This is common in morphogenesis and embryogenesis, but also in pathological conditions …
