Cell-Matrix Elastocapillary Interactions Drive Pressure-Based Wetting of Cell Aggregates
The magnitude of mechanical stresses caused by cell surface tension may be comparable to the bulk elasticity of their matrix on cellular length scales, yet how capillary effects influence tissue shape and motion are unknown. In this work, we induce wetting (spreading and migration) of cell aggregate...
