Investigating the nature of active forces in tissues reveals how contractile cells can form extensile monolayers
Actomyosin machinery endows cells with contractility at a single cell level. However, within a monolayer, cells can be contractile or extensile based on the direction of pushing or pulling forces exerted by their neighbours or on the substrate. It has been shown that a monolayer of fibroblasts behav...
