Cell stress from crowding leads to slower growth and circular patterns

Like so many organisms on the planet, when cells experience mosh-pit-level crowding, they may just become stressed. Yet unlike most other life forms, cells subject to physical stress from crowding by neighbors can find some relief by dramatically slowing their own growth - and in doing so form an eye-catching pattern of concentric circles as a spectacular consequence.
