    Heterotypic interfacial tension between oncogenic and wild-type populations forms the mechanical basis of tissue-specific oncogenesis in epithelia

    Amrapali Datta, Phanindra Dewan ... Medhavi Vishwakarma
    Mechanical interactions at the interface of mutant and wild-type cell populations govern tissue-specific responses to oncogenic transformation in epithelia, causing mutants to be extruded, spatially restrained, or undergo persistent expansion.
