Collective cell migration in development
L Schumacher - Cell migrations: causes and functions, 2019 - Springer
Collective cell migration is a key process in developmental biology, facilitating the bulk
movement of cells in the morphogenesis of animal tissues. Predictive understanding in this …

Collective behavior and nongenetic inheritance allow bacterial populations to adapt to changing environments
HH Mattingly, T Emonet - Proceedings of the National …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Collective behaviors require coordination among a group of individuals. As a result,
individuals that are too phenotypically different from the rest of the group can be left out …

Picking winners in cell-cell collisions: Wetting, speed, and contact
Groups of eukaryotic cells can coordinate their crawling motion to follow cues more
effectively, stay together, or invade new areas. This collective cell migration depends on cell …

Physical limits on galvanotaxis
I Nwogbaga, AH Kim, BA Camley - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Eukaryotic cells can polarize and migrate in response to electric fields via “galvanotaxis,”
which aids wound healing. Experimental evidence suggests cells sense electric fields via …

Photoactivatable substrates show diverse phenotypes of leader cells in collective migration when moving along different extracellular matrix proteins
SA Abdellatef, F Bard, J Nakanishi - Biomaterials Science, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
In cancer metastasis, collectively migrating clusters are discriminated into leader and
follower cells that move through extracellular matrices (ECMs) with different characteristics …

Collective gradient sensing with limited positional information
Eukaryotic cells sense chemical gradients to decide where and when to move. Clusters of
cells can sense gradients more accurately than individual cells by integrating measurements …

Chemotaxis in uncertain environments: Hedging bets with multiple receptor types
Eukaryotic cells are able to sense chemical gradients in a wide range of environments. We
show that, if a cell is exposed to a highly variable environment, it may gain chemotactic …

New mathematical modelling tools for co-culture experiments: when do we need to explicitly account for signalling molecules?
Mathematical models are often applied to describe cell migration regulated by diffusible
signalling molecules. A typical feature of these models is that the spatial and temporal …
