Abstract
Organoids are in vitro cellular collectives that give us a window into morphogenesis. In such collectives, the DNA scale is key to determining organoid structure, be it brain, kidney, or heart. Using a three-dimensional vertex model as a cellular-based model for an organoid with embedded model cell nuclei, we begin to address this hierarchy-of-scales phenomenon by focusing on the simpler chromatin-to-tissue scale organization puzzle. We show that such a minimal, multi-scale model can be used test a hypothesis regarding a mechanism by which the size of human-derived brain organoids differs from the size of chimpanzee-derived brain organoids, for example.
