Three fundamental physiological processes govern the collective scaling from the individual cell to a working tissue: cell sorting, tissue assembly, and collective cellular migration. Mechanistically, cell sorting is governed by differential adhesion, whereas tissue assembly is controlled by the epithelial-to-mesenchymal tr ...[more]
