Force propagation between epithelial cells depends on active coupling and mechano-structural polarization

Force propagation between epithelial cells depends on active coupling and mechano-structural polarization

Cell-generated forces play a major role in coordinating the large-scale behavior of cell assemblies, in particular during development, wound healing, and cancer. Mechanical signals propagate faster than biochemical signals, but can have similar effects, especially in epithelial tissues with strong c...
