New paper out in @pnas.org

We followed cells migrating along signalling gradients in 3D, and found they collectively behave as a living droplet - a self-propelling fluid that grows.

Very pleased to announce that our package for Multiscale Spatial Analysis - MuSpAn - has landed!

The preprint is on biorxiv now, but you can find a lot more details at www.muspan.co.uk, including documentation, worked tutorials (an ever-expanding list), install guides, and how to get the code!
