Agent-based model for ``Competing forces of polarization and confinement generate cellular chirality in a minimal model"
Description
Code for "Competing forces of polarization and confinement generate cellular chirality in a minimal model" by E. Im, G. Badih, L. Kurzawa, A. Buttenschoen, C. Copos.
These codes are shared to allow replication of our results and further exploration. Our codes were not developed with the goal of being efficient or easy to read, nor do they follow standard notations and conventions. We cannot guarantee that they will work as predicted if you try to change things without understanding them.

The zip file includes:
- MATLAB simulation code used in the manuscript.
To run code for rotational movement of a pair of cells, open MATLAB and enter the command
>> chiral_movement_doublet
The code in its current state will generate an instance of a pair of cells that rotate with 50/50 CW/CCW distribution. The parameters used are provided in SI in the manuscript.
Requirements:
- All MATLAB codes run in MATLAB, specifically we used MATLAB2023b.
