In addition to generating forces and reacting to mechanical cues, tissues are capable to actively pump fluid and create electric current. In this talk, we will discuss how a hydraulic or electrical perturbation, imposed for instance by a drain of micrometric diameter, can be used to perturb tissue growth dynamics. We address this issue in a continuum description of a spherical cell assembly that includes the mechanical, electrical and hydraulic properties of the tissue. This approach allows us to discuss and quantify the effect of electrohydraulic perturbations on the long-time states of the tissue. We highlight that a sufficiently strong external flow or electric current can drive a proliferating spheroid to decay. We propose that this could have applications in medicine.
