Scientists have just defined a new shape called the scutoid (SCOO-toid) while studying epithelial cells, the building blocks of embryos that eventually end up forming our skin and lining our organs ...
A group of researchers has discovered a previously undescribed shape they have called a "scutoid" through modeling and experiments. This shape is specifically adopted by packed epithelial cells during ...
A completely new geometric shape has been discovered by a group of researchers looking into the dynamics of cells that contribute toward the embryonic development and lead to the formation of human ...
