Limits of applicability of the Voronoi tessellation determined by centers of cell nuclei to epithelium morphology

It is well accepted that cells in the tissue can be regarded as tiles tessellating space. A number of approaches were developed to find an appropriate mathematical description of such cell tiling. A particularly useful approach is the so called Voronoi tessellation, built from centers of mass of the...
