Multi-cell ECM compaction is predictable via superposition of nonlinear cell dynamics linearized in augmented state space.
Cells interacting through an extracellular matrix (ECM) exhibit emergent behaviors resulting from collective intercellular interaction. In wound healing and tissue development, characteristic compaction of ECM gel is induced by multiple cells that generate tensions in the ECM fibers and coordinate t...
