The paper evaluates mechanical features of cell-cell interactions by relating effective pairwise forces to sub-cellular components using vertex model data.

The paper evaluates an image-based method for inferring cell-cell interaction potentials in tissues with cavities and cell sheets, showing it can reproduce morphological structures.

The paper develops a method to infer mechanical forces of cell-cell interactions and shows that quantitative differences in effective pairwise potentials explain morphological differences in early embryos.
