the ratio of cell perimeter to square root of area that controls a rigidity transition in vertex models of tissue, independent of density.

In biophysics, cell shape index refers to the ratio of cell perimeter to square root of area that controls a rigidity transition in vertex models of tissue, independent of density. This meaning comes from Bi (2015) in Nature Physics.[1]
