Imaging and modelling to investigate the tissue mechanics during cell death in a simple epithelium

Cell death within an epithelium could cause a loss of barrier function and damage to surrounding tissues. Mechanisms have therefore evolved to remove dead or dying cells, whilst maintaining epithelial integrity. This study has used monolayers of MDCK (Madin Darby Canine Kidney) cells as a model syst...
