Analogies between growing dense active matter and soft driven glasses

We develop a minimal model to describe growing dense active matter such as biological tissues, bacterial colonies, and biofilms, which are driven by a competition between particle division and steric repulsion. We provide a detailed numerical analysis of collective and single-particle dynamics. We s...
