Notably, our model significantly differs from topological energy-based models, like the Vertex and Voronoi models, where a single cell loses its physical meaning in isolation (see Section III in SI).

We discovered a fundamentally important mechanism for translocation of viral genomes into cells. For the first time, to our knowledge, we show that tightly packaged DNA in the viral capsid of a ...

They performed an in-depth analysis of the model and found that reducing cell-cell adhesion in near-confluent tissues can result in spontaneous cell rearrangements and transition to tissue fluidity.
