Controlled Neighbor Exchanges Drive Glassy Behavior, Intermittency, and Cell Streaming in Epithelial Tissues

Cell neighbor exchanges are integral to tissue rearrangements in biology, including development and repair. Often, these processes occur via topological T1 transitions analogous to those observed in foams, grains, and colloids. However, in contrast to those in nonliving materials, the T1 transitions...
