Physical modeling of cell geometric order in an epithelial tissue.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 22 Jan 2008

Hilgenfeldt Sascha, Erisken Sinem, Carthew Richard W

Abstract excerpt

In multicellular organisms, cells pack together to form tissues of intricate and well defined morphology. How such cell-packing geometries arise is an important open question in biology, because the functionality of many differentiated tissues depends on their reliable formation. We show that combining adhesive forces due to E- and N-cadherin with a quantitative description of cell membrane elasticity in an...
