Activity-Induced Fluidization and Arrested Coalescence in Fusion of Cellular Aggregates

At long time scales, tissue spheroids may flow or appear solid depending on their capacity to reorganize their internal structure. Understanding the relationship between intrinsic mechanical properties at the single cell level, and the tissue spheroids dynamics at the long-time scale is key for arti...
