- Title
Tissue mechanics: Cell jam.
- Authors
Swartz, Melody A.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the study by Jin-Ah Park and colleagues which suggests pathophysiology in airway epithelial cells of asthmatic patients as probable cause of the flaws in collective cell interactions in airway epithelial cell sheets. Topics discussed include particle jamming as the basis of Park's analysis, the behavior of bronchial epithelial cells with cell-cell adhesion, and the difference of phase transition of cells between normal and asthmatic patients.
