"Comparing Behaviors: Cells in Confinement and People in Crowds Exhibit Similarities, Study Finds"
A study conducted by biophysicists from the University of Chicago has found that living cells in confinement behave similarly to people in crowds. The researchers observed that cells adjust their size while growing alongside other cells in sheets of tissue. The study provides insights into how cells regulate their growth and division, which is crucial for understanding tissue development and growth. The findings may have implications for cancer treatments and tissue engineering.
