Hi ! I'm trying to model a three phase flow in Comsol multiphysics. So I used the "ternary phase field model" but I'm very skeptical about it since it couples the mobility and the capillarity (I...

Hi ! I'd like to know if hypoxic cells communicate with the surroundings cells (that are also hypoxic or not hypoxic). I mean I assume they release signals that could lead to angiogenesis or...

In vitro, in plate wells for instance, some cells do cyst and others do spheroids, and others don't make up anything. So it has been shown that the substrate is very important. But let's assume...
