Mechanical intercellular forces determine the fate of extruding cells. Cells within epithelial monolayers exert forces on their neighbors, which can trigger cell detachment and subsequent elimination.

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable three-dimensional tissues that make up our bodies.

Cells, the fundamental building blocks of life, are constantly subjected to a variety of mechanical forces within our bodies. These forces, which can arise from both internal and external sources ...
