Demonstration and interpretation of "scutoid" cells in a quasi-2D soap froth
Abstract
Recently a novel type of epithelial cell has been discovered and dubbed the "scutoid". It is induced by curvature of the bounding surfaces. We show by simulations and experiments that such cells are to be found in a dry foam subjected to this boundary condition.
