What is Adhesion and Volume Constraints via Nonlocal Interactions Lead to Cell Sorting about?

We demonstrate how concepts of statistical mechanics of interacting particles can have important implications in the choice of interaction potentials to model qualitative properties of cell aggregates in theoretical biology. We illustrate this by showing cell sorting phenomena for cell groups with different adhesiveness parameters: ranging from well-mixed cells aggregates to full segregation of cell type passing through engulfment via adhesiveness tuning.
