The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Nature and anisotropy of cortical forces orienting Drosophila tissue morphogenesis (2008, background): “Elastic forces are known to underlie cell shape and have been hypothesized to have an important role in growth control in Drosophila imaginal disc”
Attractor and integrator networks in the brain (2021, background): “2) Sufficiently strong recurrent weights with competitive dynamics in the form of local excitation or disinhibition with broader inhibition to drive spontaneous pattern formation via the Turing instability [36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 16]; these patterns become the attractor states.”
Geometry and Mechanics of Microdomains in Growing Bacterial Colonies (2017, background): “The rate of cell division can vary over time, with the increase of growth-induced local pressure [25,26].”
Physical traits of cancer (2020, background): “Compressive and tensile stresses, generated from the differential growth of cell layers, has been suggested to be a mechanical driver of cell competition (39).”
Physics of adherent cells (2013, background): “In our focus here on matrix mediated interactions, we do not discuss the effect of cell proliferation and cell death, that also leads to interesting features in cell assembly (Basan et al., 2009; Ranft et al., 2010; Shraiman, 2005).”
