How cells pull together: Theoretical study reveals a hidden source of attraction
Summary
Imagine two people standing on a stretchy sheet. When one pulls, the other feels the fabric move and responds with a pull of their own. Each adjustment changes what the other feels. Something similar happens between living cells. They tug on the material around them, sense the stretching caused by their neighbors and adjust their own forces.
