  • In this paper we propose and study a curvature-based mathematical model for dorsal closure in embryonic drosophila. Using an analysis that mixes maximum-principle and integral-estimates, we establish global existence and convergence for data that mimics the initial geometry of a dorsal closure event. Further, we present a numerical approximation scheme for the flow, establishing stability, consistence, and convergence. We also give sample simulations of the flow with initial configurations that include experimentally observed data.
