Surface functionalization modulates collective cell behavior at integer topological defects
Prasoon Awasthi, Aniruddh Murali, Ellen Juel Pørtner +2
Living cells establish long-range orientational order through collective alignment, giving rise to topological defects whose functional relevance is increasingly recognized in tiss…

Topological defects of integer charge in cell monolayers
Kirsten D. Endresen, MinSu Kim, Francesca Serra
Many cell types spontaneously order like nematic liquid crystals, and, as such, they form topological defects. While defects with topological charge 1/2 are common in cell mon…
