Mechanics of tissue competition: interfaces stabilize coexistence

Mechanical forces influence the dynamics of growing tissues. Computer simulations are employed to study the importance of interfacial effects in tissue competition. It was speculated previously that mechanical pressure determines the competition, where the determining quantity is the homeostatic pre...
