Collective cell migration has a key role during morphogenesis and during wound healing
and tissue renewal in the adult, and it is involved in cancer spreading. In addition to …

Most invasive solid tumours display predominantly collective invasion, in which groups of
cells invade the peritumoral stroma while maintaining cell–cell contacts. As the concepts …

Cell migration is a key procedure involved in many biological processes including
embryological development, tissue formation, immune defense or inflammation, and cancer …

Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer mortality. The metastatic cascade represents a
multi-step process which includes local tumor cell invasion, entry into the vasculature …

Cell motility is central to tissue homeostasis in health and disease, and there is hardly any
cell in the body that is not motile at a given point in its life cycle. Important physiological …

Periodic stripe patterns are ubiquitous in living organisms, yet the underlying developmental
processes are complex and difficult to disentangle. We describe a synthetic genetic circuit …

Collective cell migration in morphogenesis and cancer progression often involves the
coordination of multiple cell types. How reciprocal interactions between adjacent cell …

For a monolayer sheet to migrate cohesively, it has long been suspected that each
constituent cell must exert physical forces not only upon its extracellular matrix but also upon …

Cell movements are essential for animal development and homeostasis but also contribute
to disease. Moving cells typically extend protrusions towards a chemoattractant, adhere to …

A molecular motor is made of either a single macromolecule or a macromolecular complex.
Just like their macroscopic counterparts, molecular motors “transduce” input energy into …
