The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is intrinsically linked to alterations of the
intracellular cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. After EMT, cells acquire an elongated …

Metabolic reprogramming is an emerging hallmark of cancer cells, enabling them to meet
increased nutrient and energy demands while withstanding the challenging …

The functioning of natural and engineered porous media, like soils and filters, depends in
many cases on the interplay between biochemical processes and hydrodynamics. In such …

Each cell comprising an intact, healthy, confluent epithelial layer ordinarily remains
sedentary, firmly adherent to and caged by its neighbors, and thus defines an elemental …

We introduce an active version of the recently proposed finite Voronoi model of epithelial
tissue. The resultant Active Finite Voronoi (AFV) model enables the study of both confluent …

Multicellular self-assembly into functional structures is a dynamic process that is critical in
the development of biological structures and diseases, including embryo development …

Dynamic modulation of cellular phenotypes between the epithelial and mesenchymal states—
the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and mesenchymal–epithelial transition (MET) …

Spatial patterning of different cell types is crucial for tissue engineering and is characterized
by the formation of sharp boundary between segregated groups of cells of different lineages …

In both natural and applied contexts, investigating cell self-assembly and aggregation within
controlled 3D environments leads to improved understanding of how structured cell …

Immune rejection, poor biocompatibility and cytotoxicity have seriously stalled the
widespread application of biometallic materials. To overcome these problems, biometallic …
