In epithelial monolayers, +1/2 topological defects move either tail-to-head or head-to-tail depending on whether energy is injected by cell-substrate tractions or intercellular stresses, and the driving force patterns exist before the defects form.

Traction and Stress Control Formation and Motion of +1/2 Topological Defects in Epithelial Cell Monolayers
In epithelial monolayers, +1/2 topological defects move either tail-to-head or head-to-tail depending on whether energy is injected by cell-substrate tractions or intercellular stresses, and the driving force patterns exist before the defects form.
