@ATinyGreenCell That question starts to get into the topics of biomechanics and the evolution of multicellularity. https://t.co/lbWXHurPfz

When we overexpress Hsp90, our yeast clusters get about 5-fold smaller (see figure D in the preceding tweet). This makes sense, given the close physical relationship between cell shape and group size. Read about here if you are interested. https://t.co/mo5
