A number of approaches were developed to find an appropriate mathematical description of such cell tiling. A particularly useful approach is the so called Voronoi tessellation, built from centers of mass of the cell nuclei (CMVT), which is commonly used for estimating the morphology of cells in epithelial tissues. However, a study providing a statistically sound analysis of this method's accuracy is not available in the literature. We addressed this issue here by comparing a number of morphological measures of the cells, including area, perimeter, and elongation obtained from such a tessellation with identical measures extracted from direct imaging acquired by staining the cell membranes. After analyzing the shapes of 15,000 MDCK II epithelial cells under several conditions, we find that CMVT reasonably well reproduces many of the morphological properties of the tissue with an error that is between 10 and 15%. Moreover, cross-correlations between different morphological measures are reproduced qualitatively correctly by this method. However, all of the properties including the cell perimeters, number of neighbors, and anisotropy measures often suffer from systematic or size dependent errors. These discrepancies originate from the polygonal nature of the tessellation which sets the limits of the applicability of CMVT."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fphys.2016.00551"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13989"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/58782"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.publisher","Frontiers Media S.A."],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/337283/EU/Biological Membranes in Action: A Unified Approach to Complexation, Scaffolding and Active Transport/MEMBRANESACT"],["dc.relation.eissn","1664-042X"],["dc.relation.issn","1664-042X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","530"],["dc.title","Limits of Applicability of the Voronoi Tessellation Determined by Centers of Cell Nuclei to Epithelium Morphology"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here, we show that this behavior is only typical for colonies developing on hard substrates and report a new growth phase of MDCK II cells on soft gels. At the onset, the new phase is characterized by small, three-dimensional droplets of cells attached to the substrate. When the contact area between the agglomerate and the substrate becomes sufficiently large, a very dense monolayer nucleates in the center of the colony. This monolayer, surrounded by a belt of three-dimensionally packed cells, has a well-defined structure, independent of time and cluster size, as well as a density that is twice the steady-state density found on hard substrates. To release stress in such dense packing, extrusions of viable cells take place several days after seeding. The extruded cells create second-generation clusters, as evidenced by an archipelago of aggregates found in a vicinity of mother colonies, which points to a mechanically regulated migratory behavior."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.bpj.2013.12.056"],["dc.identifier.isi","000333754300001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24703316"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/10658"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/33858"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Cell Press"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/337283/EU//MembranesAct"],["dc.relation.issn","1542-0086"],["dc.relation.issn","0006-3495"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC 2.0"],["dc.rights.uri","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/"],["dc.title","Novel Growth Regime of MDCK II Model Tissues on Soft Substrates"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
