This study uses a nematic framework to show that endothelial cell orientation gradients drive angiogenic sprouting, with implications for therapeutic strategies.

The paper studies how vortex topological defects in myoblast monolayers drive the formation of 3D cell mounds through converging cell flows.

The paper identifies 3D topological defects and quasi-long-range order in glioma tumors, linking them to tumor aggression and cell density regulation.
