Researchers from the @ianywonglab.bsky.social are working toward understanding the dynamics of how tissues develop, as well as how cancer cells break free of tumors to spread around the body, by unpacking how cells interact with each other and their surroundings. www.brown.edu/news/2026-01...
The shape of things to come: How spheroid geometry guides multicellular orbiting and invasion
In research that could shed light on the growth and formation of complex tissue architectures, Brown University engineers show how cells orbit and reconfigure their surroundings to venture outward fro...

not quite the correct geometry, but puppy collective migration seems to have analogies with epithelial spheroids ;)

Published online today in Nature Physics - we show how multicellular spheroids round up and orbit, driving a deterministic transition to 3D matrix invasion at predictable locations.
Amazing work from @jiwon-kim.bsky.social, @htjeong.bsky.social and collaborators
