The biophysical nature of cells: potential cell behaviours revealed by analytical and computational studies of cell surface mechanics
BACKGROUND: The biophysical characteristics of cells determine their shape in isolation and when packed within tissues. Cells can form regular or irregular epithelial structures, round up and form clusters, or deform and attach to substrates. The acquired shape of cells and tissues is a consequence...
