Collective cell motion in an epithelial sheet can be quantitatively described by a stochastic interacting particle model.

Modelling the displacement of thousands of cells that move in a collective way is required for the simulation and the theoretical analysis of various biological processes. Here, we tackle this question in the controlled setting where the motion of Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells in a confluen...
