本研究通过荧光图像分析追踪Hydra内胚层细胞簇，发现其扩散常数几乎不随簇质量变化，揭示了活性细胞集体行为并解释快速组织分离。
摘要：
组织组织在形态发生、伤口愈合和癌症转移中起着至关重要的作用。Hydra以其再生能力而闻名，是研究细胞结构（尤其是模式形成和细胞簇扩散）的优秀模型。成熟的实验方案能够通过光学显微镜检查再生和组织分离。最近的实验对先前理论提出挑战，表明细胞集体行为是Hydra细胞聚集体组织中的关键因素。利用图像处理技术对Hydra分离实验的荧光图像进行分析，我们追踪内胚层细胞簇，并研究其扩散常数与簇大小之间的关系。与在非活性物质中观察到的结果相反，我们发现扩散对簇质量具有近乎恒定的依赖性。这一发现有助于理解近期实验中观察到的快速分离，并对一般细胞组织过程具有启示意义。
英文摘要：
Tissue organization plays a crucial role in morphogenesis, wound healing and cancer metastasis. Hydra, known for its regenerative capabilities, serves as an excellent model for studying cellular structures, particularly in pattern formation and the diffusion of cell clusters. Established experimental protocols enable the examination of regeneration and tissue segregation through optical microscopy. Recent experiments challenge previous theories by suggesting that cell collective behavior is a key factor in hydra cell aggregate organization. Utilizing image treatment techniques on fluorescent images from Hydra's segregation experiment, we track endoderm cell clusters and investigate the relationship between their diffusion constant and cluster size. In contrast to results observed in non-active matter, we discover a nearly constant dependence of diffusion on cluster mass. This finding contributes to understanding the rapid segregation observed in recent experiments and holds implications for general cellular tissue processes.
