“…First, each point in a continuous space is assigned to its closest cell (center); second, every cell is allocated a convex polyhedral region, i.e., forming a Voronoi diagram [98] , [99] , [100] , [101] . Voronoi diagrams have been widely used in combination with 3D time-lapse cell-nucleus position data of C. elegans embryos for characterizing and visualizing embryonic morphology, which has greatly facilitated studies in many areas of biology [75] , [102] , [103] , [104] , [105] , [106] , [107] , [108] , [109] , [110] , [111] , [112] , [113] . Moreover, this implementation has been used to delineate several key mechanisms in C. elegans embryogenesis that are supported by experimental evidence, such as Notch signaling and the positional variability mediated by physical contact, cell adhesion, and gap junctions [109] , [110] .…”
