Actomyosin pulsation and flows in an active elastomer with turnover and network remodeling

Tissue remodeling involves substantial involvement of the contractile actomyosin cytoskeleton. Here the authors model the spatiotemporal evolution of actomyosin densities during Drosophila germband extension and find affine and nonaffine deformations that depend on the magnitude of local contractile...
