  2. We present the first experimental evidence that supports that low stresses are experienced by central cells and is driving the biological response of aggregates. Our model improves upon previous models, however, it can still become more robust. We plan to obtain higher resolution biophysical data with validation to further alter cell contractility distributions and iterate our model’s parameters. It is necessary to incorporate heterogeneous mechanical properties to accurately estimate the distribution of the emergent stress fields in our aggregates.
