How do axons “choose” their path during neurodevelopment?
Besides chemical cues, axons can respond to the mechanical stiffness of their environment.
This behavior is called durotaxis.
In this paper, we develop a full multiscale model of axon durotaxis.

Excited to share our paper on the mathematical modelling of elephant trunk wrinkles, working with @langelamihai.bsky.social and @alaingoriely.bsky.social. We provide qualitative insight into surface wrinkles in elephant trunks based on nonlinear morphoelasticity. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1....

Great work. Congratulations Hadrien.
