Fig. 2: Emergence and evolution of a solitary cell (SC) in DECLIC-DSI experiments.
From: Cell invasion during competitive growth of polycrystalline solidification patterns
Snapshots in (a) illustrate the evolution of a SC (outlined in yellow) and grain boundary (GB) morphologies (cyan lines). Trajectories of selected cells (black for the SC; green and other colors for tagged non-eliminated and eliminated host cells, respectively) appear in (b) with different symbols as time markers. Blue and red arrows in (b) indicate the overall drift directions of grains. Panel (c) shows cell trajectories in 3D, evidencing the GB roughening and branching and the resulting tubular defect inside the red grain. See Supplementary Movies 3 of (a), and 5 of (c).
