The active matter protectorate. Fluorescence microscopy studies have revealed the presence of a dynamic actin cortex in a thin layer near the surface of the embryo. The molecular basis of this active behavior in this case is collective interactions between active filaments and myosin motors. Active matter can be described by a macroscopic constitutive model in which stresses are created by virtue of these underlying molecular motions.
