Multicellular Rosettes Drive Fluid-solid Transition in Epithelial Tissues
Models for confluent biological tissues often describe the network formed by cells as a triple-junction network, similar to foams. However, higher-order vertices or multicellular rosettes are prevalent in developmental and in vitro processes and have been recognized as crucial in many important aspe...
