Explicit calculation method for cell alignment in non-circular geometries
The alignment of spindle-shaped cells in two-dimensional geometries induces singular points called topological defects, at which the alignment angle of the cell cannot be defined. To control defects related to biological roles such as cell apoptosis, calculation methods for predicting the defect pos...
