Jamming and force distribution in growing epithelial tissue

We investigate morphologies of proliferating cellular tissues using a numerical simulation model for mechanical cell division and migration in two dimensions. The model is applied to a bimodal mixture consisting of stiff cells with a low growth potential and soft cells with a high growth potential;...
