A strategy for tissue self-organization that is robust to cellular heterogeneity and plasticity
29 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
Developing tissues contain motile populations of cells that can self-organize into spatially ordered tissues based on differences in their interfacial surface energies. However, it is unclear how self-organization by this mechanism remains robust when interfacial energies become heterogeneous in either time or space. The ducts and acini of the human mammary gland are prototypical heterogeneous and dynamic tissues...
