The importance of physical forces in the morphogenesis, homeostatic function, and
pathological dysfunction of multicellular tissues is being increasingly characterized, both …

Eukaryotic cells show an astounding ability to remodel their shape and cytoskeleton and to
migrate through pores and constrictions smaller than their nuclear diameter. However, the …

Cancer occurs when cells stop working for the collective and become selfish. These
changes transform the cells, giving them competitive advantages. Cancer manifestations are …

Pervasive across diverse domains, stochastic systems exhibit fluctuations in processes
ranging from molecular dynamics to climate phenomena. The Langevin equation has served …

The dynamics of biological systems, from proteins to cells to organisms, is complex and
stochastic. To decipher their physical laws, we need to bridge between experimental …

The inference of multicellular self-assembly is the central quest of understanding
morphogenesis, including embryos, organoids, tumors, and many others. However, it has …

In the past years, the amount of research on active matter has grown extremely rapidly, a fact
that is reflected in particular by the existence of more than 600 review articles on this topic …

The motility of eukaryotic cells is strongly influenced by their environment, with confined cells
often developing qualitatively different motility patterns from those migrating on simple two …

Cell migration in narrow microenvironments is a hallmark of numerous physiological
processes, involving successive cycles of confinement and release that drive significant …

Cellular force generation and motility are key to embryonic development, the immune
system, wound healing, and cancer. In all these examples, cells migrate and generate forces …
