This paper uses quantitative phase imaging to study 3D dynamics of epithelial monolayers, revealing mass conservation and non-prismatic cell geometry challenges to 2.5D assumptions.

This study measures height, volume, and mass dynamics of MDCK monolayers using two QPI techniques and develops new methods for cell segmentation and height statistics without image segmentation.

The paper shows that spontaneous dormancy in bacteria is advantageous only when antibiotic application and feast periods are decoupled, and combining both dormancy types is optimal with stochastic antibiotic timing.
