Collective cell mechanics of epithelial shells with organoid-like morphologies
The physical origins of man-made tissue morphologies with organ-like microscopic anatomy and functionality remain poorly understood. Here, authors propose a mechanistic theory of these structures, employing a 3D vertex model to reproduce the characteristic morphologies such as branched shapes.
