Using a multi-phase field model, we examine how particle deformability, whichis a proxy for cell stiffness, affects motility induced phase separation(MIPS). We show that purely repulsive deformable, i.e., squishy, cells phaseseparate more effectively than their rigid counterparts. This can be understoodas due to the fact that deformability increases the effective duration ofcollisions. In addition, the dense regions become increasingly disordered asdeformability increases. Our results contextualize the applicability of MIPS tobiological systems and have implications for how cells in biological systemsmay self-organize
