The mechanochemistry of cytogels

Abstract We present a mechanochemical model for force generation by actomyosin cytogel. The model is built around the observation that calcium ions both solate actomyosin gels and stimulate active contraction of the gel. The model cytogel can mimic a variety of morphogenetic pattern-producing phenomena.
