The maximum size of cell-aggregates is determined by the competition between the strain energy and the binding energy of cells

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ) critically impacts cell aggregation; smaller ratios allow for larger cluster sizes. These findings have significant implications for tissue engineering, in-vitro modeling, the study of neurodegenerative diseases, and tissue regeneration, providing insights into how physical and biological characteristics of cells influence their aggregation and stability.
