Collective movement of epithelial cells drives essential multicellular organization during
various fundamental physiological processes encompassing embryonic morphogenesis …

Cell migration is an adaptive process that depends on and responds to physical and
molecular triggers. Moving cells sense and respond to tissue mechanics and induce …

Cells comprising a tissue migrate as part of a collective. How collective processes are
coordinated over large multi-cellular assemblies has remained unclear, however, because …

The way in which cells coordinate their behaviours during various biological processes,
including morphogenesis, cancer progression and tissue remodelling, largely depends on …

Collective cell migration is fundamental throughout development, during wound healing and
in many diseases. Although much effort has focused on cell–cell junctions, a role for …

Convergence–extension is a widespread morphogenetic process driven by polarized cell
intercalation. In the Drosophila germ band, epithelial intercalation comprises loss of …

The leading front of a collectively migrating epithelium often destabilizes into multicellular
migration fingers where a cell initially similar to the others becomes a leader cell while its …

The directed migration of cell collectives is essential in various physiological processes,
such as epiboly, intestinal epithelial turnover, and convergent extension during …

The role of geometrical confinement on collective cell migration has been recognized but
has not been elucidated yet. Here, we show that the geometrical properties of the …

Eukaryotic cells migrate by coupling the intracellular force of the actin cytoskeleton to the
environment. While force coupling is usually mediated by transmembrane adhesion …
