Groups of cells can both grow and break apart. What physical factors control these fractures? What sets the eventual size of clusters?

When cells break off from an invading cancer, is it a single cell or a big clump? This changes how dangerous the cancer is. In Wei's paper, in collaboration w/Kostas Konstantopoulos, we model how groups of cells break off from an invading cancerous front, and see when you get single cells vs groups
