Interactive Simulation of Biologically-Inspired Cellular Growth System

This article describes an interactive simulation of a biologically-inspired cellular growth system. It begins with a single cell that can gr

The senescence-stiffening loop: How extracellular matrix remodeling, vascular decline, and mitochondrial dysfunction collectively drive tissue aging

This article presents a unified perspective on tissue aging through a "senescence-stiffening loop" — a self-reinforcing cycle involving extr

Cells Use Bioelectric Signals to Coordinate Collective Expulsion of Unhealthy Cells

Recent research published in Nature reveals that cells use bioelectricity to coordinate a collective behavior called extrusion, where tissue
