Gap junctions amplify spatial variations in cell volume in proliferating tumor spheroids
Cell proliferation is regulated by cell volume, but it is unclear how individual cancer cells coordinate to regulate cell volumes in 3D clusters. Here the authors propose a mechano-osmotic model to analyse the exchange of fluid and ions between connected cells and their environment in response to pr...
