Trajectories and segmentation of human bronchial epithelial cell
Cancerous human fibrosarcoma cells undergo collective migration at the edge of their colony by combining mesoscale self-organization and intrinsic handedness, showing how physical interactions alone can lead to biological functionality.

HBEC forming dynamic co-aligned domains. Nematic defects are found at the interface between domains. The total defect number remains unchanged as a result of dynamical balance of nucleation and annihilation events.

Cryopreservation of adherent mammalian cells on a substrate.
On substrate cryopreservation of three widely used epithelial cell lines: IEC-18, HeLa, and Caco-2 cells adhered to a substrate provides proof-of-concept for new freezing protocol that facilitates the growth of a vital confluent cell culture after thawing, dramatically shortening the post-thaw culturing time.
