Cell intercalation is a key cell behaviour of morphogenesis and wound healing, where local cell neighbour exchanges can cause dramatic tissue deformations such as body axis extension. Substantial experimental work has identified the key molecular players facilitating intercalation, but there remains a lack of consensus and understanding of their physical roles. Existing biophysical models that represent cell-cell contacts with single edges cannot study cell neighbour exchange as a continuous process, where neighbouring cell cortices must uncouple. Here, we develop an Apposed-Cortex Adhesion Model (ACAM) to understand active cell intercalation behaviours in the context of a 2D epithelial tissue. The junctional actomyosin cortex of every cell is modelled as a continuous viscoelastic rope-loop, explicitly representing cortices facing each other at bicellular junctions and the adhesion molecules that couple them. The model parameters relate directly to the properties of the key subcellular players that drive dynamics, providing a multi-scale understanding of cell behaviours. We show that active cell neighbour exchanges can be driven by purely junctional mechanisms. Active contractility and cortical turnover in a single bicellular junction are sufficient to shrink and remove a junction. Next, a new, orthogonal junction extends passively. The ACAM reveals how the turnover of adhesion molecules regulates tension transmission and junction deformation rates by controlling slippage between apposed cell cortices. The model additionally predicts that rosettes, which form when a vertex becomes common to many cells, are more likely to occur in actively intercalating tissues with strong friction from adhesion molecules. During development tissues undergo dramatic shape changes to build and reshape organs. In many instances, these tissue-level deformations are driven by the active reorganisation of the constituent cells. This intercalation process involves multiple cell neighbour exchanges, where an interface shared between two cells is removed and a new interface is grown. The key molecular players involved in neighbour exchanges, such as contractile motors proteins and adhesion complexes, are now well-known. However, how their physical properties facilitate the process remains poorly understood. For example, how do cells maintain sufficient adhesive contact while actively uncoupling from one another? Then, how does a new interface grow in a contractile environment? Many existing biophysical models cannot answer such questions, due to representing shared cell interfaces as discrete elements that cannot uncouple. In this paper, we develop a model that represents cell cortices as contractile rope-loops coupled by adhesions. We outline the conditions required for successful neighbour exchanges, in terms of the properties of the known molecules that drive the process. The model predicts that tissue dynamics depend strongly on the ability of neighbouring cortices to slip relative to one another, which is regulated by adhesion turnover.
