Mechanical instabilities provide a general design principle for shaping developing organs and engineering soft materials. However, in slender structures, simple elastic buckling tends to erase rather ...

In cell biology, computational models of biological systems range from minimal representations with a handful of parameters to whole-cell simulations tracking thousands of molecular species across a c...

Combining microscopy and modeling, the authors reveal that tissue fluidity, driven by active cell motion and interfacial tension, governs how living spheroids merge into larger structures.
