Adhesion Percolation Determines Global Deformation Behavior in Biomimetic Emulsions
Characterizing the mechanical properties of tissues is key for the understanding of fundamental biological processes such as morphogenesis or tumor progression. In particular, the intercellular adhesion forces, mediated by transmembrane proteins like cadherins, are expected to control the topology a...
