A minimal model for structure, dynamics, and tension of monolayered cell colonies
Cells are in constant movement inside tissues, but often remain cohesive nevertheless, i.e., single cells do not escape from the colony edges. Using an active Brownian-particle model with attraction, in this paper the authors develop an interaction potential that reproduces experimental observations...
