Introduction The formation and maintenance of three germ layers in colonies of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is sensitive to the geometry of the colony. In vitro experiments with micropatterns controlling colony shape have previously addressed the underlying spatio-temporal patterning in Warmflash et al.

Introduction Collective motion of human breast cancer cells of the cell line MDA-MB-231 was studied by Lee et al. for individual crawling cells, cell doublets, cell quadruplets and for confluent populations on a two-dimensional substrate.

Introduction Brook et al. studied the effect of distinct immune phenotypes on cellular-scale viral propagation in three mammalian kidney cell lines with different interferon pathways (IFN). Differences in the IFN response upon pathogen invasion allowed to experimentally observe, model and numerically simulate viral dynamics in cells with

Hepatocyte–sinusoid alignment (HSA) causes asymmetric shapes in early hepatocellular tumors. Introduction The mammalian liver is subdivided into lobes and further into thousands of hexagonal columns, called lobules, which act in parallel.

Hepatocyte–sinusoid alignment (HSA) supports the coordination of hepatocytes during liver regeneration after damage by carbon tetrachloride. Introduction The regenerative capacity of the mammalian liver did already inspire the fate of Prometheus in Greek Myth but it still poses many questions today that call for spatio-temporal multicellular modeling.
