The paper models how cell division dynamics influence heterogeneous contact-mediated signaling outputs in growing cell collectives.

The paper models biomechanical feedback during zebrafish embryogenesis to predict the transition from synchronous to asynchronous cell divisions and explains the resulting cell cycle lengthening.

This study uses agent-based simulations to show that mechanical feedback from cell division and proliferation influences cell dynamics in growing tissues, with distinct diffusion behaviors depending on feedback strength and growth rate.
