3P272 Interface mechanics between two clonal cell populations with different growth rates : A theoretical study of cell competition(24. Mathematical biology,Poster)
Abstract:When two types of clonal cell populations competitively grow in epithelial tissues, only at the boundary between the two clones, apoptosis selectively occurs in the cells with lower division rate. Although genetic studies have suggested that F-actin dependent mechanical force is a major regulator of cell competition, how the difference of division rates affects the mechanical force is little investigated. Using the cell vertex model, we numerically found that the boundary of the clones was more smoothly rounde… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
