A competitive advantage through fast dead matter elimination in confined cellular aggregates

Competition of different species or cell types for limited space is relevant in a variety of biological processes such as biofilm development, tissue morphogenesis and tumor growth. Predicting the outcome for non-adversarial competition of such growing active matter is non-trivial, as it depends on...
