The next step, which has yet to be taken, is to extend mechanical modeling using tensegrity systems to the case of multicellular complexes. This approach is based on the property of tensegrity systems of being able to associate to form organized and complex structures (planar tissues such as those shown in figure 19 , like a monolayer of endothelial cells, or volumic structures).

Different planar structures formed by assembling...
