In this paper, we further developed a cell-cell communication mechanism that enables structure discovery an regeneration by cell networks. More specifically, we restricted cell division to adult stem cells and we added stem cell migration as a possible cell behavior. Our results showed that after incorporating these constraints, the cell-cell communication mechanism was capable to maintain its regeneration capabilities against a large tissue removal.
