0,76WXGHQW | EMT variations in cancer
My project tried to capture the transformative aspect of mesenchymal epithelial
transition as it relates to the environment. The basis for cell growth is very heavily
reliant on the amount of oxygen or rather the lack of oxygen. This project captures
that environmental constraint. The cast ltranforms in the z direction based on
shape. This is representative of the cells physically changing shape based on the
environmental conditions (the z axis can be seen as time, where time is increasing in the positive z direction). However, the shapes and the movement for these
structures is also informed by the amount of oxygen present locally which forces
them to move in and out (in the x and y direction) depending on the amount of
oxygen present.
