    Abstract Mathematical and computational models are used to describe biomechanical processes in multicellular systems. Here, we develop a model to analyse how two types of epithelial cell layers interact during tissue invasion depending on their cellular properties, i.e., simulating cancer cells expanding into a region of normal cells. We model the tissue invasion process using the cellular Potts model and implement our two-dimensional computational simulations in the software package CompuCell3D. The model predicts that differences in mechanical properties of cells can lead to tissue invasion, even if the division rates and death rates of the two cell types are the same. We also show how the invasion speed varies depending on the cell division and death rates and the mechanical properties of the cells.

    Abstract The morphology and function of epithelial sheets play an important role in healthy tissue development and cancer progression. The maintenance of structure of closely packed epithelial layers requires the coordination of various mechanical forces due to intracellular activities and interactions with other cells and tissues. However, a general model for the combination of mechanical properties which determine the cell shape and the overall structure of epithelial layers remains elusive. Here, we propose a computational model, based on the Cellular Potts Model, to analyse the interplay between mechanical properties of cells and dynamical transitions in epithelial cell shapes and structures. We map out phase diagrams as functions of cellular properties and the orientation of cell division. Results show that monolayers of squamous, cuboidal, and columnar cells are formed when the axis of cell proliferation is perpendicular to the substrate or along the major axis of the cells. Monolayer-to-multilayer transition is promoted via cell extrusion, depending on the mechanical properties of cells and the orientation of cell division. The results and model predictions are discussed in the context of experimental observations.

    Abstract We investigate the effects of social distancing in controlling the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic using a simple SIR epidemic model. We show that an alternative or complementaryapproach based on targeted isolation of the vulnerable subpopulation may provide a moreefficient and robust strategy at a lower economic and social cost within a shorter timeframe.

    Abstract A better understanding of how the COVID-19 pandemic responds to social distancing efforts is required for the control of future outbreaks and to calibrate partial lock-downs. We present quantitative relationships between key parameters characterizing the COVID-19 epidemiology and social distancing efforts of nine selected European countries. Epidemiological parameters were extracted from the number of daily deaths data, while mitigation efforts are estimated from mobile phone tracking data. The decrease of the basic reproductive number ([Formula: see text]) as well as the duration of the initial exponential expansion phase of the epidemic strongly correlates with the magnitude of mobility reduction. Utilizing these relationships we decipher the relative impact of the timing and the extent of social distancing on the total death burden of the pandemic.

    Abstract Neural crest cells are embryonic stem cells that migrate throughout embryos and, at different target locations, give rise to the formation of a variety of tissues and organs. The directional migration of the neural crest cells is experimentally described using a process referred to as contact inhibition of locomotion, by which cells redirect their movement upon the cell-cell contacts. However, it is unclear how the migration alignment is affected by the motility properties of the cells. Here, we theoretically model the migration alignment as a function of the motility dynamics and interaction of the cells in an open domain with a channel geometry. The results indicate that by increasing the influx rate of the cells into the domain a transition takes place from random movement to an organized collective migration, where the migration alignment is maximized and the migration time is minimized. This phase transition demonstrates that the cells can migrate efficiently over long distances without any external chemoattractant information about the direction of migration just based on local interactions with each other. The analysis of the dependence of this transition on the characteristic properties of cellular motility shows that the cell density determines the coordination of collective migration whether the migration domain is open or closed. In the open domain, this density is determined by a feedback mechanism between the flux and order parameter, which characterises the alignment of collective migration. The model also demonstrates that the coattraction mechanism proposed earlier is not necessary for collective migration and a constant flux of cells moving into the channel is sufficient to produce directed movement over arbitrary long distances.

We present quantitative relationships between key parameters characterizing the COVID-19 epidemiology and social distancing efforts of nine selected European countries. Epidemiological parameters were extracted from the number of daily deaths data, while mitigation efforts are estimated from mobile phone tracking data. The decrease of the basic reproductive number ( $$R_0$$ R 0 ) as well as the duration of the initial exponential expansion phase of the epidemic strongly correlates with the magnitude of mobility reduction. Utilizing these relationships we decipher the relative impact of the timing and the extent of social distancing on the total death burden of the pandemic.

    Abstract We investigate the effects of social distancing in controlling the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic using a simple susceptible-infected-removed epidemic model. We show that an alternative or complementary approach based on targeted isolation of the vulnerable sub-population may provide a more efficient and robust strategy at a lower economic and social cost within a shorter timeframe resulting in a collectively immune population.
