Check out our new preprint, where we rethink cell-monolayer mechanics through the lens of odd mechanics and show how non-equilibrium mechanical couplings can help explain their collective behavior.
@mattiaserra.bsky.socialPreprint📣: Living tissues can exhibit odd mechanics without chirality. Our minimal model shows that orientational order can generate an odd modulus—inferable from experiments—and reproduces flows & stress localization around 1/2 defects. @sreejithsanthosh.bsky.social
