Description:
Author(s): Matej Krajnc, Sabyasachi Dasgupta, Primož Ziherl, and Jacques Prost The dynamical properties of cells forming a layer of tissue influence the macroscopic behavior of that tissue. The authors propose a three-dimensional model based on the tensions between the component cells and an excluded volume, and study rearrangements between the cells. They are able to obtain a relationship between the viscosity of the tissue and relaxation events at the cellular level. [Phys. Rev. E 98, 022409] Published Wed Aug 22, 2018
